Confuse!
Sorry but I am not sure if I understand this post really. (maybe its my bad English
)
If you want to backup your system then use the ufsdump command and save this file on an other system or tape.
Example of the man page to write on a tape the filesystem at the c0t3d0s0 slice:
ufsdump 0cfu /dev/rmt/0 /dev/rdsk/c0t3d0s0
Your first question regarding the boot device:
Insert the Solaris install dvd or cd then the system label the disks (If there is a physical disk mounted) automatically!
Best regards
