    Thanks for the response everyone.

    I managed to boot into -s and run the format command. It immediately
    realised I had no label and asked if I would like to fix it.
    I fixed it and then did a boot net -install.

    I now get the message ..

    krtld: load_exec: fail to expand cpu/$CPU

    According to Sun at ...

    ----------------------------------
    'This error message typically means that the kernel does not recognise
    the hardware that you are attempting to boot.

    It appears that you have newer hardware, but are trying to boot an older
    version of the operating environment. Are you using the latest Solaris 8
    2/02 version? If not, you must use a revision of the operating
    environment that supports your hardware.'
    ------------------------------------

    Has anyone seen this before. The SCSI HDDs have been bought as a batch
    and we have successfully upgraded other servers with these disks in the
    past.

    Thanks

    Andy
