FreeBSD has tools to mount an ISO image so why not try it?

P.S. If I knew how off the top of my head I would have said so. Try =
freebsddiary.org

  Hi, I have gotten pretty far with a sun enterprise 2 server over the =
recent weeks. Thanks to everyone who helped me get where I am. I just =
recently was able to NFS mount the sun to a freebsd server without any =
problems.

  I have downloaded the 3 files from sun's website for installing =
solaris 8 (installation CD , 2 software CD's). These files are in ISO =
9660 format, which means I have to burn these to CD's. Is there anyway I =
can convert these ISO's back to UFS format? Burning CD's is possible, =
but I am having compatibility problems with 2000 and my HP burner.=20

  I assume once I get the CD rom mounted, I can share the CD rom and =
boot the sun with "boot net --install" or something similar. I would =
appreciate any steps and clarification given!

  Thanks!

  Mike
