rebuilt because the hardware layout is different?
what do you exactly mean with a different hardware layout? you said that it is the same hardware, didn't you?
anyhow, you can force a kernel update/reconfiguration with the "-r" option at boot time
"boot disk2:0 -r"
have you tried to restore your backup like it was before, everything in one slice? perhaps your backup is corrupt. normally, if it is the same hw-platform, you just need to restore the file-systems, edit your /etc/vfstab, install a bootblock and everything works again.... do you have any /etc/system entries that point to the old disk, like "rootdev:/dev...."
i would try to restore the backup in one slice, to see if it would work, after that you can go step by step to see what's not working...
