ufsrestore will not boot
hey all,

i did a ufsdump/restore from a mirrored system and i'm not able to get the new system to boot off of the dump.

system 1 is a v245 mirrored with disk suite. metadb's are in place
Code:
d3 -m d23 d13 d33 1
d23 1 1 c1t1d0s3
d13 1 1 c1t0d0s3
d33 1 1 c1t2d0s3
d0 -m d20 d10 d30 1
d20 1 1 c1t1d0s0
d10 1 1 c1t0d0s0
d30 1 1 c1t2d0s0
d1 -m d11 d31 1
d11 1 1 c1t0d0s1
d31 1 1 c1t2d0s1

i placed my a clean drive into slot 3 and did the following.
Code:
$ prtvtoc /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s0 | fmthard -s - /dev/rdsk/c1t3d0s0

$ newfs /dev/dsk/c1t3d0s0

$ mount /dev/dsk/c1t3d0s0 /mnt2

$ ufsdump 0f - / | (cd /mnt2; ufsrestore rf -)

DUMP: DUMP IS DONE

$ installboot /usr/platform/sun4u/lib/fs/ufs/bootblk /dev/rdsk/c1t3d0s0

$ umount /mnt2

removed the drive from slot 3 and placed it into system 2 (v245 as well) and at the ok prompt typed boot or boot disk, but the system won't boot.

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

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.
