V210 to V440

I recently acquired a server for home use. Currently, I'm running a V210. I was wondering of a way to basically swap hard drives into the V440.

I would like to avoid reinstall on the V440 for many reasons.

Currently on the V440, when I try to boot up it forces itself into System Maintenance Mode. I type my root password to access the system. I then see that nothing is mounted. Since nothing is mounted, I don't have access to any commands. I copy a few commands into another directory I created on the / folder.
I also see that the drive sequencing changed. This to me explains why nothing is mounting. I edit vfstab accordingly only for utter failure in results.
I try to manually mounting a slice, and I get forced into read-only.

Code:
mount -F ufs -o rw /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s7 /mnt

Here's my vfstab

Code:
#device         device          mount           FS      fsck    mount   mount
#to mount       to fsck         point           type    pass    at boot options
#
fd      -       /dev/fd fd      -       no      -
/proc   -       /proc   proc    -       no      -
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s3       -       -       swap    -       no      -
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0       /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0      /       ufs     1       no
-
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s6       /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s6      /usr    ufs     1       no
-
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s1       /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s1      /var    ufs     1       no
-
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s7       /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s7      /export/home    ufs     2
yes     -
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s5       /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s5      /opt    ufs     2       yes
-
/devices        -       /devices        devfs   -       no      -
ctfs    -       /system/contract        ctfs    -       no      -
objfs   -       /system/object  objfs   -       no      -
swap    -       /tmp    tmpfs   -       yes     -
sharefs         -       /etc/dfs/sharetab       sharefs -       no      -


I also can not boot into single user mode due to lack of a password. I can not reset it because the hacked hard drive I'm using has no clue what to do with eeprom.

Any and all assistance is appreciated.
Thank you
