Solaris

Only one think I mention is that I used the the rdsk path for the dd command (use a bigger blk size it is mutch faster!!!) and that there was a / failed inside your command (maybe only a typing error)

Your problem is not the boot block!
The main problem is the faulty /usr partition.

So you have only two possibility's the first is to boot from cdrom/net inside the singel user mode
OK: boot cdrom -s (With solaris cdrom)
or
OK: boot net -s (if you have a boot server)

The second is to boot with the old master disk and the new disk on the seconded ide port.

then try the fsck command:
fsck -Y /dev/dsk/c0t1d0s5

Please send us the output of this test!

Joerg,
Thanks for the help.

I finally got this working, thanks for the advice.
here is what I did, after booting boot cdrom -s :

1) I re-did the DD clone command, using this format:

dd if=/dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s2 of=/dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s2 bs=4096

result:
2225160 + 0 records in
2225160+0 records out

2) then ran fsck on the cloned drive
results:
c0t1d0s0 .1% frag
c0t1d0s5 .2% frag
c0t1d0s6 cannot seek blk 11620448
cannot read blk 11620488
cannot seek blk 11620448
following sectors cannot be read 11620488 11620449 11620450

3) I then connected the clone drive as the only drive in the Ultra-10, as master IDE drive, tried to boot from disk.

eror messages:
checking ufs filesystems
/dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s0: no such device or address
Cannot open /dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s0
/dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s0 : can't check file system
/dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s0: unexpected consistency; run fsck manually
WARNING: unable to repair one or more of the following filesystems
/dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s6 /dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s0
Run fsck manually (fsck filesystem...)

4) Next - I suspected that the original system had 2 hard drives in it, and that trying to run the cloned master drive without the 2nd slave frive was causing this problem. I attached the original 2nd slave drive, and then the cloned master drive now boots OK.

Thank You for the help and advice.
