How to make a disk bootable on a SPARC
# installboot /usr/platform/`uname -i`/lib/fs/ufs/bootblk /dev/rdsk/cwtxdys0
Usually:
# installboot /usr/platform/`uname -i`/lib/fs/ufs/bootblk /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0
Note: in one instance I was having problems, the installboot kept throwing
dd errors. It turns out that there was a
/usr/local/bin/dd which was in my path which didn't know what to do. Beware
dds that
ddon't.
