mkbootmedia(1M)		System Administration Commands	       mkbootmedia(1M)

NAME
       mkbootmedia - create bootable Solaris ISO image

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/bin/mkbootmedia -v [-l label] media-root iso

DESCRIPTION
       The  mkbootmedia	 utility  takes	 media-root  (the  root	 of an on-disk
       Solaris install media) as input and  creates  a	bootable  Solaris  ISO
       image  in  the  file iso, using mkisofs(8). The file can then be burned
       onto a CD/DVD with utilities such as cdrw(1) or	cdrecord(1).  (Neither
       mkisofs(8) nor cdrecord(1) are SunOS man pages.)

       Caution -

	 The	directory    tree    media-root	   must	  contain   the	  file
	 boot/grub/stage2_eltorito, which will be written to  the  media  boot
	 sectors.  This file will be modified with some boot information, thus
	 it must be writable. If necessary, first save a copy prior to running
	 this utility.

OPTIONS
       The following options are supported:

       -l label

	   Sets label as the label/volume name of the ISO image.

       -v

	   Verbose. Multiple -v options increase verbosity.

OPERANDS
       The following operands are supported:

       media-root

	   Top-level directory of an on-disk Solaris install media.

       iso

	   Name of the output file which will contain the resulting ISO image.

EXAMPLES
       Example 1 Creating an ISO Image and Burning a CD/DVD

       The  following  commands	 create an ISO image from the content of s10u1
       and burn the image to a CD/DVD.

	 # /usr/bin/mkbootmedia s10u1 s10u1.iso
	 # /usr/bin/cdrw -i s10u1.iso
