I still don't get what you are trying to do. Let me rephrase what I understand:

You have two servers, each one with two disks. One of the disks died and the affected server no more boots. You believe cloning either a hard disk from the other server or the other one on the same server will fix the issue. Please clarify that last point.
To keep it simple...I am using one server with two hard drive slots. I issued a simple "dd" command .... "dd if=/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s2 of=/dev/dsk/c0t1d0s2 bs=2048k" to copy the contents of my good (boot) drive to this new (backup) drive. The address listed on the "of" portion of the dd command is what my prior secondary drive used.....could that be the issue?

I am no longer getting a geometry error at this point being that I am using identical drives.... thanks for you help.
