try this manually:

$cp miniroot myminiroot.gz
$gunzip myminiroot.gz
$lofiadm -a <absolute path> myminiroot

lofiadm must return something like /dev/lofi/1

$mkdir <some dir name>
$mount  /dev/lofi/1  <some dir name>

if everything works fine, you will get a directory structure under <some dir
name>

if lofiadm fails, then the chances are that the miniroot is corrupt
