bad LIF magic

[Tatijana Radenkovic]

I’m trying to create a DVD backup of the system (9000/785). I have followed instruction from “Customized Install Media”, created image of the system and copied it to the DVD. Now when I try to boot from it I have message:
“IPL: bad LIF magic”
I can mount DVD and image file is a LIF volume, but DVD is not:

bash# lifls -l /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0
lifls: Can't list /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0; not a LIF volume
bash# mount /dev/dsk/c0t0d0 /mnt
bash# cd /mnt
bash# ls -l

What third party CD/DVD software can I use to copy image to the DVD (running on Windows), and what options should I use?
Or, is problem somewhere else?

Thanks in

I have followed instructions and created an image.iso. Image is good as I was able to restore it (using dd) to another disk. Problem is when I burn it to the DVD. If I try to "Record Disk from an image" I have message that image.iso is not a valid image file. If I burn it as a file, DVD is not a LIF volume. I'm not sure where I make a mistake.

Hi,
Just an update.
I couldn't make a DVD but created an archive
on multiple CDs using Nero.

Robert-Jan, thank you for your reply.

Tatijana
