How to make a bootable disk?

# isainfo -kv
64-bit sparcv9 kernel modules
# uname -a
SunOS icarus 5.8 Generic_117350-27 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V240
Not sure what type of disks they are but here's the partition table:
Will doing an fdisk to toggle the bootability mess up my partitions?
I get this when I try the fdisk:
# fdisk /dev/dsk/c0t2d0s0
fdisk: Cannot stat device /dev/dsk/c0t2d0s0.
Any ideas will be gratefully appreciated
