I have been involved with Solaris 8 zones but only from a flar file created using the
flarcreate command run on a normally installed Solaris 8 system thus:
booted single user
# mountall
# cd /var/tmp
# flarcreate -n imagename -c -e imagename imagename
Where imagename is the name and filename of the flar file.
The resultant flar file created in /var/tmp contains all the filesystems in the one file, perhaps if you are going to use a ufsdump file it also has to have all the filesystems in the one file which is what ufsdump won't do if they are on separate slices?
So perhaps you need to build a system from your ufsdumsp with /, /usr and /var all in the same slice and then create a ufsdump from that or else create a flar file from the original system instead?
