Hi fellow managers,

Does anyone tried to make Solaris 8 boot disk installed on an E1000 bootable
in other platform sun4u (E6500 in this case) ? Is that possible?

What we are planning to achieve that:

- Make a third mirror of an E10000 boot disk (via SDS).
- Make this disk bootable
- Deattach the disk. Remove this disk..
- In a running E420 with a slot free, insert this disk.
- Mount the root partitions. Remove all the contents of the /devices
- Remove path_to_ inst
- Configure sd.conf properly.
- Boot this disk, forcing reconfiguration.
- Voila?

Will it work? Any missing steps?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Filipe.
