this is my hard disk
/dev/dsk/c1d0s0 mount /
/dev/dsk/c1d0s1 mount swap
/dev/dsk/c1d0s7 mount /export/hoem
1. #format (check availability of HDD in system)

2. #prtvtoc /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s2 | fmthard -s - /dev/rdsk/cxtxdxs2 (if they are in same size)
3. #newfs /dev/rdsk/cxtxdxs0 (setting up File system)
4. #mount /dev/dsk/cxtxdxs0 /mnt (mount corresponding sliice on which copying will accomplished)
5. #ufsdump 0f - /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s0 | (cd /mnt && ufsrestore rf - )
6. #umount /mnt
Steps 3-6 will be repeated for each slice
7. # installboot /usr/platform/`uname -i`/lib/fs/ufs/bootblk /dev/rdsk/cxtxdxs0

of course this is only one way u can do that. as DukeNuke2 said it depends on your requirements

thats all .. enjoy Smilie)

good luck

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 See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes: +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ | ATTRIBUTE TYPE | ATTRIBUTE VALUE | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ |Availability |SUNWcsu | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ od(1), uname(1), boot(1M), init(1M), kadb(1M), kernel(1M), monitor(1M), reboot(1M), rpc.bootparamd(1M), init.d(4), attributes(5) WARNINGS
The installboot utility fails if the bootblk or openfirmware files do not exist or if the raw disk device is not a character device. 11 Apr 2005 installboot(1M)
