Problem rebuild 280R ufsdump

Guys got a bit of a strange one.

We have a 280R which has internal fiber drives. We have taken a ufsdump
of it and are now rebuilding it on another 280R. We are doing this so we
can test some patch_cluster installs instead of affecting live server.

We do the restore fine ( by chucking a drive on the back and restoring
from tape ) but when we boot there are issues with it finding the disks
and we dont know why. The added annoyance is we can boot from cdrom and
see things fine. Im wondering if its anything to do with WWN's or drives
or internals.

Probe scsi output on this new 280R
