I have a Sparc10 running SunOS 4.1.4 (legacy hardware) whose hard
drive died, I put in new drive, partitioned it, created
filesystems, restored partitions from 'dump' files backups (just
posted summary on this procedure recently).
Now I need to run 'installboot' so I can boot from the disk. When
I'm booted from the SunOS 4.1.2 CD (all I have), it doesn't have
a 'mount' or 'installboot' command. If I could at least use 'mount'
I could access the 'installboot' from the system disk itself.
I see one option is to install a mini-root, but it seems like this
is going to install on the disk I've just restored...is this a
non-destructive install, or there a way to specify to install the
mini-root on a certain partition? I do have a spare.
I'm quite stuck, any help appreciated.
