How to prepare env to install product with pkgadd -R option

Question

Hi,
Do you know what steps need to be done to install Storage Foundation with rootpath option?
With rootpath option packages are installed with -R option.
I thought that I can install product on non-default location. But I was wrong.
Installer help description:
The -rootpath option is used to re-root the install of all packages to the given path. On Solaris, -rootpath passes -R <root_path> to pkgadd. On HPUX, it passes -I <root_path> to swinstall. The -rootpath option is not supported on AIX or Linux
Please tell me how to prepare Solaris environment to install SF to re-root the install?
Kind regards,
Daniel

Hi,
Finally I created alternate boot environment using command:
# lucreate -c c1t0d0 -n c1t1d0 -m /:/dev/dsk/c1t1d0s0:ufs
File systems:
[root@sun1 /]# df -h
Filesystem             size   used  avail capacity  Mounted on
/dev/dsk/c1t0d0s0       14G   5.8G   8.5G    41%    /
/devices                 0K     0K     0K     0%    /devices

                        14G   5.8G   8.5G    41%    /platform/sun4u-us3/lib/sparcv9/libc_psr.so.1

swap                   5.2G    88K   5.2G     1%    /tmp
swap                   5.2G    48K   5.2G     1%    /var/run
/dev/dsk/c1t0d0s3      4.8G   4.9M   4.8G     1%    /oracle

/dev/dsk/c1t0d0s7       39G   1.2G    38G     4%    /export/homeThen activated alternate boot environment:
[root@sun1 /]# lustatus
Boot Environment           Is       Active Active    Can    Copy
Name                       Complete Now    On Reboot Delete Status
c1t0d0                     yes      yes    yes       no     -
c1t1d0                     yes      no     no        yes    -
[root@sun1 /]# luactivate c1t1d0
[root@sun1 /]# lustatus
Boot Environment           Is       Active Active    Can    Copy
Name                       Complete Now    On Reboot Delete Status
c1t0d0                     yes      yes    no        no     -
c1t1d0                     yes      no     yes       no     -Then run commands:
# init 0
ok> boot
But after bootin system is booting from c1t0d0 disk not from alternate boot envrionment:
[root@sun1 /]# df -h
Filesystem             size   used  avail capacity  Mounted on
/dev/dsk/c1t0d0s0       14G   5.8G   8.5G    41%    /
...Do you know what is the problem?
