XP1000 won't boot (again)

From: Peter.Stern@weizmann.ac.il

I bought a new 36GB disk, put it into another workstation, labeled the
disk, made the AdvFS domains and filesets and restored the system from
the workstation with the broken disk (yes the disk is broken).

Then I replaced the broken system disk with the new one and tried to
boot. I get the same message as before:
>>> (boot dka0.0.0.6.1 -flags a)
>>> failed to open dka0.0.0.6.1

What am I missing here?

>>> sho dev
doesn't show the disk.

In the workstation where I did the restore, I jumpered the disk to be
rz1. In the original workstation I left it as rz0 as was the original
disk.

Regards,
Peter
