i don't think you should move your /usr/lib directory to another partition other than the one it is at.. i could point out few possible reasons for the error. some how you changed the path of execution to the directory itself, the path is not set globally.. or you have not configured the boot process properly.. also look for a possible mount error as in maybe /usr/lib is mounted but does not have the right fs.
heres a site with a structured map of the filesystem heirarchy starting with root and working through boot down to the basic files found in /usr and var ... and so on (/usr/lib will be in there!).. it should give you a better idea on how to go about correcting the error without having to move the partion and will probably calrify why you shouldn't do this since you could malfunction something else..

ps . hope this helps
edit:
if you are to move your directory for space or lack of rather than move the whole directory to another partition.. create a directory in the other partion and link it (soft link)... that way you don't have to muck about with the built-in functions of the /usr environment..

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
