hi cer,
thanks for your ideas...i really appreciate it.
Its funny we found the originally software install cds in back closet when we were cleaning - we though they were lost.
NCR had told me that it is very complicated to do an original install of the system from scratch since it has so many patches for security and all the applications involved to run the whole system.
Anyway we contacted NCR to see if they could help with the disk partitioning of the 35gb drive and it seems we were able to add disk slice/s (partitions) to the drive - but it is not fully tested in that particulay config.
Once again,
thanks for the help.

installboot
installboot(1M) installboot(1M)
NAME
installboot - install bootblocks in a disk partition
SYNOPSIS
installboot bootblk raw-disk-device
The boot(1M) program, ufsboot, is loaded from disk by the bootblock program which resides in the boot area of a disk partition.
The ufs boot objects are platform-dependent, and reside in the /usr/platform/platform-name/lib/fs/ufs directory. The platform name can be
found using the -i option of uname(1).
The installboot utility is a SPARC only program. It is not supported on the architecture. users should use installgrub(1M) instead.
bootblk The name of the bootblock code.
raw-disk-device The name of the disk device onto which the bootblock code is to be installed; it must be a character device which is read-
able and writable. Naming conventions for a SCSI or IPI drive are c?t?d?s? and c?d?s? for an IDE drive.
Example 1: Installing UFS Boot Block
To install a ufs boot block on slice 0 of target 0 on controller 1 of the platform where the command is being run, use:
example# installboot /usr/platform/`uname -i`/lib/fs/ufs/bootblk
/dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s0
/usr/platform/platform-name/lib/fs/ufs
directory where ufs boot objects reside.
/platform/platform-name/ufsboot
second level program to boot from a disk or CD
