mounting a partition that's located inside a disk (cd) image

[Dave Andruczyk]

This is a tough one, for one of the experts.

I'm trying to get my old ultrasparc 30 up and running to 
use both solaris 9 and linux on it, but would rather install it
from the LAN as the CDrom drive it has is a 2X and has problems 
reading CDR's. 

I downloaded the Solaris 9 OS install CD's from sun, I can mount
them just fine under linux, but see very little on the install CD,
4 files, mounted space used is only 320K (via "df"). After digging
a bit deeper, the CD  (And it's image) are actually setup as a sun
disk label (sun partition tablem instead of MS-DOS style)  It seems 
like a second ISO9660 session is on there which is why linux appears
to mount it, but show only a tiny subset fo what should be there..

What I haven't figured out how to do is mount any of the other 
partitions so I can extract the kernel and other necessay crap out.
to net-boot  and install the sparc.  

Output from fdisk -l (list partitions on device)

 fdisk -l sol9-1.iso 

Disk sol9-1.iso (Sun disk label): 1 heads, 640 sectors, 2048 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 640 * 512 bytes

     Device Flag    Start       End    Blocks   Id  System
sol9-1.iso1   r         0         1       320    4  SunOS usr
sol9-1.iso2   r         1      1923    615040    2  SunOS root
sol9-1.iso3          1923      1931      2560    0  Empty
sol9-1.iso4          1931      1939      2560    0  Empty
sol9-1.iso5          1939      1947      2560    0  Empty
sol9-1.iso6          1947      1955      2560    0  Empty

2 out of 3 of the downloaded ISO's were sun disk format,  the 3rd
was standard ISO9660 (typically CDRom format...)

Anyone got any ideas??? (Bob?)
