Problem booting U60 after ufsdump bare-metal restore.

I am attempting to do a bare metal restore of Solaris 9 from a Sun
Fire v210 (sun4u) to a Ultra 60 (sun4u) system in order to test our
disaster recovery plan.

I booted the U60 system from a Solaris 10 jumpstart server in single
user mode, partitioned, newfs, and mounted the disk. I then restored
the ufsdump files via a NFS mount onto the new disk. The server we
restored the backups from was using disk suite, so before I rebooted
the freshly restored system I updated the etc/vfstab to force it to
mount the physical disks instead of the meta disk. I also updated the
etc/system and removed all the disk suite configuration.

When I reboot the system I receive the following error:

ok boot -r
Boot device: /pci@1f,4000/scsi@3/disk@0,0 File and args: -r

I have attempted to do a reconfiguration reboot (-r) - but this does
not appear to help.

I know /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s3 exists. When I boot from net: boot net -s
and mount /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s3 /a it works just fine:

SINGLE USER MODE
# mount /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 /a
# mount /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s3 /a/usr

I have double and triple checked the etc/vfstab and etc/system and I
don't see any obvious errors.

What am I missing in order to make this system boot?
