After the installation of the combined image or cd1combined image, there are
a few ERROR messages in the install_log file. I've attached the complete
install log file.

The problem pkgs are SUNWj3rt & SUNWj3dev and the postinstall script
in both the pkgs fail while executing the CreateUtilPrefs function.

--------------------- excerpt from postinstall script ------------------------
  if [ ! -f $PREFS_LOCATION/.systemPrefs/.system.lock ]; then
    touch $PREFS_LOCATION/.systemPrefs/.system.lock
    installf -c none $PKGINST $PREFS_LOCATION/.systemPrefs/.system.lock f 0644 root bin
  fi
  if [ ! -f $PREFS_LOCATION/.systemPrefs/.systemRootModFile ]; then
    touch $PREFS_LOCATION/.systemPrefs/.systemRootModFile
    installf -c none $PKGINST $PREFS_LOCATION/.systemPrefs/.systemRootModFile f 0644 root bin
  fi
