Problems upgrading from V120 to V240

Hi all,
I have a sunfire V120 server which I wish to upgrade to a V240.
Both systems have 36G hard disks (same make and model).

The V120 is running solaris 9 with the latest patch cluster installed.
The V240 has been running a solaris 9 for testing without any problems.

I cloned disk 0 (on the V120) with dd and tested that all was ok by
booting on another V120 system.

The first disk of the V240 was then replaced with the cloned disk.
As per instructions found on the mailing list I performed the following:

ok boot cdrom -s
mount /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s0 /a
cd /a/dev/dsk
rm c*
cd /a/dev/rdsk
rm c*
cd /
drvconfig -r /a/devices -p /a/etc/path_to_inst
devlinks -r /a
disks -r /a
tapes -r /a
ports -r /a
audlinks -r /a
cd /
umount /a
halt
ok boot -r

Upon boot I get get the following warning about mc-us3i, and a failure
to mount filesystems.

Rebooting with command: boot -r
Boot device: /pci@1c,600000/scsi@2/disk@0,0 File and args: -r

mount of /usr failed or the /usr filesystem is badly
damaged. The system is being halted. Either reinstall
the system or boot with the -b option in an attempt
to recover.

syncing file systems... done
Program terminated

The path_to_inst file is identical to that in /tmp/root/etc when
booting from cdrom.

Any help would be greatly apreciated.

Cheers,
Colin
