ufsrestore, revisited

I just installed solaris 9 on a sunblade 150(sparc), and have it partitioned. I've been using ufsrestore to restore bring the config from my old system, to the sunblade. I'm not having any luck. The root directory restore seems to work. When I try to restore /usr, I get an "/usr/sbin/fsck not found, please use boot -b to recover or reinstall the system" error. I looked through some of my manuals and online, and found some info.

First step I've found is to mount the new files system to a temp mount point.

In my case, the first one I want is root(for me, it's on c0t0d0s0)
# mount /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0
# mount: /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 is already mounted

Next step is to cd to the mounted directory
in my case, it's / (I'm already there)
I create the tape device entries
# tapes
# ufsrestore rvf /dev/rmt/0
(only one tape needed)

the root fs is restored, I perform an ls to verify.
#rm restoresymtable

I try to do a umount:
# umount /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0
# / is busy

Once I saw that, I tried ps -eaf to see what was running, nothing on / . Got the same with fuser.

Am I missing something? Should I not have installed the OE first? Thanks for any input.

install-solaris

install-solaris(1M)													       install-solaris(1M)

NAME

       install-solaris - install the Solaris operating system

SYNOPSIS

       install-solaris

       install-solaris	invokes  the  Solaris  Install	program. Depending on graphical capability and available memory at the time of invocation,
       install-solaris invokes either a text-based installer or a graphical installer.

       The following minimum requirements for physical memory dictate which features are available during installation:

       For SPARC machines:

       128 MB

	   Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       128 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       384 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       For x86 machines:

       256 MB

	   Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       256 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       512 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       In some cases, even if the minimum physical memory is present, available virtual memory after system startup can limit the number  of  fea-
       tures available.

       install-solaris	exists	only  on  the Solaris installation media (CD or DVD) and should be invoked only from there. Refer to the  for more
       details.

       install-solaris allows installation of the operating system onto any standalone system. install-solaris loads the software available on the
       installation media. Refer to the  for disk space requirements.

       Refer to the  for more information on the various menus and selections.

       See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:
