|
|
Anybody ever tried to restore a Solaris boot block using partimage?
It seems to work OK for backing up / restoring solaris partitons but the boot block is slightly different...
I've got a gentoo CD that I boot from which uses partimage to bacl up the Solaris partitons onto a spare partition. I can then burn these files to CD.
If I boot another machine from the same CD, I can fdisk and create the partitions (with sun label). Then partimage restores the sun partitions no problem...
Except for the boot partition !!!! |

Why not use dd? Much simpler and it does what you tell it. |
