I was on the right path after all, missing the "undocumented" parameter -p for the path_to_install file. Special thanks to Buddy Lumpkin for pointing out that in previous Solaris versions, there was a -p paramter to drvconfig which could also work in Solaris 8.... And indeed it still works albeit still undocumented... Thank you all that have responded.... Nelson -----Original Message----- List: Solaris 8, 4/01. UE-3500 servers (server A and B). I dumped the OS of server A (/ and /var) to tape. The / and /var partitions are c2t3d0s0 and c2t3d0s0 on server A. Restored same tape to server B on similarly sized partitions, did installboot, edited vfstab file as well as the hostname objects in /etc. The / and /var paritions I restored on server B are /c5t1d0s0 and c5t1d0s3. Started up server B (boot -rv)... fails on fscking of /dev/rdsk/c5t1d0s0 and consequently /dev/rdsk/c5t1d0s3... goes to single user mode with / mounted using the physical device path of / and readonly mode... Seems like it is failing because /dev/dsk and /dev/rdsk do not have entries to the new device paths for the OS. I've tried using devfsadm while booted in miniroot from CDROM but have been unsuccessful in rebuilding the /dev /tree as well as the path_to_inst. Is there a way/recipe to fix this? I know I have been doing this in previous versions of Solaris and even with Solaris 7 but just cannot make this work on Solaris 8. Any ideas? Thanks a lot.
