I'm trying restore Solaris 9 from a V120 to a Sunfire 280R.

On the v120, /var and / are the only partitions that need to be restored.
They were backed up w/ ufsrestore to a file - ufsdump 0f /home/root.dump /

Solaris 9 is already installed on disk0 of the 280R. I used ufsrestore to
restore the contents of root.dump and var.dump to disk1 on the 280R. I then
went through this process which has worked in the past for different
hardware...

cd /root_new/etc
cp -p path_to_inst path_to_inst.old
cp -p name_to_major name_to_major.old
cd /root_new/dev
mv dsk dsk.old
mv rdsk rdsk.old

cd /dev
tar cf - ./dsk | (cd /root_new/dev; tar xvfp -)
tar cf - ./rdsk | (cd /root_new/dev; tar xvfp -)

cd /root_new/devices
drvconfig -r . -p ../etc/path_to_inst
cd /root_new
disks -r /root_new
ports -r /root_new
devlinks -r /root_new
tapes -r /root_new
audlinks -r /root_new

cp /etc/name_to_major /root_new/etc/name_to_major

vi /root_new/etc/vfstab

/usr/sbin/installboot /usr/platform/`uname -i`/lib/fs/ufs/bootblk
/dev/rdsk/c1t1d0s0

eeprom boot-device=disk1:a

ok boot -r

I get this error....
