can't open osf_boot

I'm trying to upgrade a system by cloning it from another system.

I need to install 5.0A, but I've lost my 5.0A install disk and so I dumped
the root filesystem from a running 5.0A system and booted up the machine
to be upgraded with a 5.0 install disk. I needed to repartition the
system disk and I used the graphical disk manager tool to re-partition
and then I opened a shell and created an advfs domain and single (root)
fileset and mounted that and then restored the root file system I'd
backed up from the running 5.0A system and edited necessary system
configuration files and then wanted to boot up the upgrade from the
genvmunix to single user, but when it boots, it loads the kernel and
then gives me this error:
can't open osf_boot

I searched the archives and I've seen posts inquiring of this error, but
no replies for the solution.

Any help ?

Thanks,

Dirk
