Yes, is your /usr filesystem a separate filesystem????

If so, you'll need to ufsrestore the dump of that too, otherwise the clone will go into "maintenance mode" when it boots. All other filesystems you can restore (by whatever means, eg, ufsrestore, cpio, tar) after the system is on its feet.

To enable the system to boot from the disk you will need to install the boot blocks into sectors 0 & 1 of the disk (like MBR on Windows). There's an 'installboot' command on the DVD to do that. Search this forum for that. Any questions post back here.

Is the clone hardware identical to the production box? If not, there may be some adjusting to do, modifying /etc/vfstab, modifying /etc/system, setting up new device nodes eg, /dev/dsk/c4t1d1s0 if the hardware is different.

Unmount your NAS connection with:

Code:
# umount /mnt

unmount your hard disk root filesystem with:

Code:
# umount /a

Once you've installed the boot blocks close the system down in an orderly manner:

# init 0

I'm sure you'll have more questions but perhaps you should start a thread as this one's already quite long.

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.
