No, that ain't right!!!!!

The only error I would expect to see is a warning that Lost+Found already exists.

Ok, let's recap exactly what we're doing here. Unlike at the start of this thread, you know all of this stuff now so you can very quickly check.

1. This is a Disaster Recovery (DR) routine so we start with an empty machine. Boot from DVD into single user to get a # prompt.
2. Use 'format' to label, partition (VTOC) our slices, and 'newfs' at least the first slice to take our restored root filesystem.
3. We have two mountpoints available on the DVD; /a and /mnt. We are going to restore from a dumpfile mounted on /mnt to our new hard disk (empty) root filesystem mounted on /a. So first mount slice one of our new empty filesystem on /a. Looking in here now, all we see is Lost+Found.
4. Mount our remote NAS dumpfile on /mnt. Looking in /mnt now we see our NAS files.
5. Now change directory back to /a; check again that we only have Lost+Found in here. Issue 'ufsrestore' to tip the whole contents of our dumpfile into this directory. Only error should be a warning that Lost+Found already exists.

That's where we are up to right now so what are you doing wrong????

EDIT: I omitted to say that, at some point, you need to plumb, configure and up a network interface in order to reach the NAS over the LAN.

NAME
installgrub - install GRUB in a disk partition or a floppy SYNOPSIS
/sbin/installgrub [-fm] stage1 stage2 raw-device The installgrub command is an -only program. GRUB stands for GRand Unified Bootloader. installgrub installs GRUB stage 1 and stage 2 files on the boot area of a disk partition. If you specify the -m option, installgrub installs the stage 1 file on the master boot sector of the disk. The installgrub command accepts the following options: -f Suppresses interaction when overwriting the master boot sector. -m Installs GRUB stage1 on the master boot sector interactively. The installgrub command accepts the following operands: stage1 The name of the GRUB stage 1 file. stage2 The name of the GRUB stage 2 file. raw-device The name of the device onto which GRUB code is to be installed. It must be a character device that is readable and writable. For disk devices, specify the slice where the GRUB menu file is located. (For Solaris it is the root slice.) For a floppy disk, it is /dev/rdiskette. Example 1: Installing GRUB on a Hard Disk Slice The following command installs GRUB on a system where the root slice is c0d0s0: example# /sbin/installgrub /boot/grub/stage1 /boot/grub/stage2 /dev/rdsk/c0d0s0 Example 2: Installing GRUB on a Floppy The following command installs GRUB on a formatted floppy: example# mount -F pcfs /dev/diskette /mnt # mkdir -p /mnt/boot/grub # cp /boot/grub/* /mnt/boot/grub # umount /mnt # cd /boot/grub # /sbin/installgrub stage1 stage2 /dev/rdiskette /boot/grub Directory where GRUB files reside. See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes: +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ | ATTRIBUTE TYPE | ATTRIBUTE VALUE | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ |Availability |SUNWcsu | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ |Interface Stability |Evolving | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ boot(1M), fdisk(1M), fmthard(1M), kernel(1M), attributes(5) Installing GRUB on the master boot sector (-m option) overrides any boot manager currently installed on the machine. The system will always boot the GRUB in the Solaris partition regardless of which fdisk partition is active. 24 May 2005 installgrub(1M)
