420R won't boot after restore - unable to load kernel/unix

I have a 420R. It's Solaris 2.6, and is a disaster recovery image from
another box. The restore ran fine, we've done this recovery procedure many
times. But this time, after the boot from the recovered disk, I get: (i'm
paraphrasing since it's a tty terminal)

unable to load kernel/unix: Please enter filename [kernel/unix]:

Looking on disk, the kernel is /kernel/genunix not /kernel/unix. I've tried
typing in /kernel/genunix but it refuses to load that.

My recovery image (also Solaris 2.6) /kernel directory matches the disk
(/a/kernel/) directory, and it boots just fine. I've checked the bootblk,
and it is correct too -- the one on disk matches the one in the jumpstart
image.

Have I missed something obvious to someone?

Thanks in advance.
