Full System Restore from 250 - V280R

Hello,
Here is what I am trying to do.

We have an old Enterprise 250 which we want to phase out. So plan is to move everything running on the 250 to an unused Sun Fire V280R.

Here is what I decided to do:

1. Fresh Solaris 8 install on Sun 280R (disk0). Configure network and install Netbackup Client.
2. Full restore of 250 (from backups) to Sun 280R (disk1).
3. Change /etc/vfstab, /etc/system (since 250 was mirrored).
4. Also reinstall path_to_inst.

I think I did several other chnages also..I can't remember any more. Picked up on this after a whole week of absence.

Anyway so I can boot from disk0 (on 280R, fresh install of solaris 8), however when I try to boot from disk1 i get the following error messages and its just continue looping: Can someone help me resolve this problem or give me some suggestions.:

OK boot disk1

Rebooting with command: boot disk1

DESCRIPTION

       The  cvcredir  virtual console redirection driver is a STREAMS-based pseudo driver that supports the network console provided on some plat-

       The  cvcredir driver receives console output from cvc and passes it to  cvcd. It receives console input from  cvcd and passes it to  cvc.
