I am having trouble making a simple iso file from an opensolaris disk. I am running RH9 and I need help with linux's mkisofs command.

You may have more luck with the 'dd' command, this is what I have always used.

dd if=/dev/cdrom of=~/filename.iso bs=1k

This will read the CD-ROM block-by-block and dump it into filename.iso, which can then be burned with cdrecord, etc.
