Moving E4500 OS Disk Into D1000 ! HELP!

I have an E4500 and we purchased a D1000.

I am attempting to move all 6 of my disks from diskboards to the D1000,
including the OS drive.

When I installed my new differential controller, my ultra-wide controller
became c1; the differential is c0.

I installed my disks, restarted the machine and it dropped to an OK prompt.

I ran a probe-scsi-all and could see all my disks.

I set up an alias for my boot-disk (sol8) as my new disk position
(/sbus@2,0/QLGC,isp@1,10000/sd@0,0).

I set the diag-device and boot-device to be my new alias (sol8).

I then did a reset to boot.

I booted to cdrom, and ran format to see the labels of my disks (c0t0d0s0 -
c0t8d0s0), and edited the vfstab so that the c0t0d0s0 would be the boot
filesystem.

The system started to boot and then dies while after the server name and
interfaces, it says my /usr may be corrupt.

It appears that it will not create the device for my new disks.

I tried moving my boot disk back to a disk board but of course I have no
device handle for c1t10d0s0 either.

How do I move my OS to the D1000? How do I fix my issue of no device handles
for the disks in the D1000?

Help?
