X-Mailer: VM 6.43 under 20.4 "Emerald" XEmacs Lucid Message-ID: <14792.6464.331697.460715@grasshopper.cs.duke.edu> Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Are we able to mount Solaris/x86 disk slices? I'm thinking about trying use FreeBSD as an installation crutch to mirror a Solaris/86 installation to 60-odd PCs (I can have FreeBSD netbooted to a diskless workstation configuration by the time solaris is 1/2 way through reading its secondary bootstrap..). I'm just planning to dd an existing disk image onto the local disk. It would be nice to be able to mount the Solaris root partition & touch a few configuration files... If anybody has done something similar and can offer advice, please ping me.
