ufsrestore to a new server: the saga continues

I have done the following:

create root slice
ufsrestore root slice from old server from tape
installboot to create a boot block
edit /etc/vfstab
edit /etc/system to eliminate MD entries

Now, the system boots but it is unable to find any disks. It claims to want to
do a manual fsck but when I boot from the hard disk into single user mode, it
can't find the disks either with fsck or format.

When booting from cd-rom, it finds the disks no problem.

There is obviously something held over from the old system that is stopping
this process from working, but I can't figure out what it is. The old system
is a V880 and the new system is a v480.

Thanks.
