For SPARC (only, 'cause there may be some differences in the iso
format for x86, and I don't have any x86 to play with to make it
work there), I wrote a program that will extract all the slices
other than the one at the start of the ISO (which one can typically
use in-place).  You still want to read the doc referenced above so
you know what's really happening.  But the program will take care of
the tedious work.

ftp://smarty.smart.net/pub/rlhamil/goodies/imgslice.c

Usage is imgslice [-c] filename

Without the -c, it only lists the slices; with it, it extracts
those other than the one at the beginning of the disk (which may or
may not be numerically the first slice).
