Sun Solaris 8, you boot the system but does not have anything on the screen (not started)

Greetings to all.

I have two computers, Sun Blade 150.
the first, had the Solaris 8 system, and that system needed to clone the "second" to start it with the same settings.

Use a program to clone the drive, and then have cloned, had the error:

Code:
Can't read disk label.
Can't open disk label package
Can't open boot device

This error is being presented on both discs.
Search the Internet how to solve this problem, I found that with the utility called "Format" could solve the problem. with a DVD of solaris 10 use the utility and could solve the problem of the label.

But when you boot the computer and starts, the screen stays black.



this is some things he says:
Code:
Configuring IPv4 Interfaces: eri0.
Hostname: mini999
/dev/dsk/C0t0d0s1: I/O error
the System is Coming up. Please wait.

Here are some pictures of the window:

Does anyone have any idea what's going on?

Thank you! Smilie

For clarification:
This is the same issue posted by a very hardworking and smart young man who is taking care of the systems. He has recently learned a great deal about Unix and Solaris and we appreciate his help on the ground here.

I am wondering if anyone has any suggestions on how to get back to the Solaris login without losing the programs and data.

This thread started by the technician is regarding the same issue as this other thread that I started: https://www.unix.com/solaris/241576-newly-relabelled-disc-unable-initialize-solaris-8-login-please-help.html
