mkisofs options for a Solaris ISO

I was wondering what options were used to create the stock Solaris ISO images. I found this in Creating a Customized Boot CD/DVD for the Solaris™ Operating System for x86 Platforms

# mkisofs -r -no-emul-boot \
-b .bootimage \
-c .catalog \
-G genboot \
-o composite.iso \
-sunx86-boot /var/tmp/my.miniroot \
/tmp/isodir/

But I know this is pre-grub. Hmm, I'm not generating my own miniroot, which is a difference.

The -sunx86-boot does generate the El-Torito magic needed. But I'm guessing that grub is replacing the miniroot.
