The command should be

dd if=/dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s2 of=/burn/some.iso  bs=2k

If you do not specify bs=2k, it will default to 512 bytes.

Hi all,

I want to install Windows 2003 Server on vbox from an iso image on machine B in a remote location. I have the Windws CD at location A. My idea was to create an iso image from the cd, scp this iso file to the remote location and then configure vbox to boot from this iso image. However, I have no idea how to create an iso from a cd under Solaris. I am currently trying

        /etc/init.d/volmgt stop
        dd if=/dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s2 of=/burn/some.iso

but am not sure whether the thus created iso will work. This command takes ages to execute. I can see the file /burn/some.iso growing but at a very slow rate. I am at 103 MBytes after half an hour. :-(

Will the above approach work or do I need to do anything else? Hints are greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

   Andreas
