-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I have located this. Its author is Robert Hartzell -- are we speaking about the same thing? The name popped into my head today and once I searched on it, the README that he wrote popped up immediately. As he never posted it to the list, I'd like to get his permission first, but I assume that that will be no problem. Just when someone doesn't post something to the list, I have to assume they might have a reason.
He started using an 03/05 disc and building a restore disc from that, but apparently he since tried it with 01/06 and this works fine as well. He thinks it should work on Solaris 9 as well, and I'd wager it works on 06/06, as there were no changes that should affect the ability to conduct a restore on this version. Note, he attempted this on x86. I am very interested in doing it on SPARC, and in fact may try to get it going this afternoon.
