OK. First I managed to format the removable USB drive as UFS. Then I
could mount it as a UFS drive and copy my flash archive file onto it.

I've got another machine that I want to install Solaris 10 and use
this flash archive. So I boot from DVD and was hoping to be able to
specify the USB drive as location of flash archive. Trouble is even
going into the mini-shell it doesnt seem to work.

Any ideas? Or are there easier ways to do this?

I did think of Jumpstart or specifying the flash location as netwrok
drive or FTP but I dont think thats going to work. Trouble is first
time around I had a job getting the network interface to work - not
supported during the solaris 10 install but had to install a driver
later.

Is there any way to slipstream this driver into the Solaris 10
install? (like you can do with windows)

See James C. Liu and Brian Dowdy's BigAdmin article on adding
device drivers to the Jumpstart boot server.

I've used their method to add third party drivers for HBAs and
NICs.

Happy hacking,
John
