    Hello,

    I installed Solaris 9, and patches, and softwares,
    and printers and ... on a first Sun Blade 150.

    Then I cloned this installation to a second Blade 150:
    1. building same partitions: size, newfs;
    2. do an ufsrestore from images build on the first Blade;
    3. installboot.

    This second Blade fails to boot:
      Cannot assemble drivers for root /pci@1f,0/ide@d/disk@0,0:0
      Cannot mount root on /pci@1f,0/ide@d/disk@0,0:0 fstype ufs

      panic[cpu0]/thread=140a000: vfs_mountroot: cannot mount root

    But it boots with: boot disk kadb

    Booting from a Solaris CD, I compared the outputs of 'prtconf -v'.
    The differences are:
    ------------- 1 -------------------
            ide, instance #0
            name='target1-dcd-options' type=int items=1 dev=none
            value=000000a4 on the booting host
    and value=000000a2 on failing host
    ------------- 2 -------------------
            dimm-spd, instance #1
            Driver properties:
            name='size' type=int items=1 dev=(31,1)
            value=00000100
    only the failing host.
    ------------- 3 -------------------
            value='DVD-ROM SR-8589' on the failing host
            value='DVD-ROM SR-8588' on the booting host
    ------------- 4 -------------------
    and of course the serial numbers of the IDE ST380011A disks:
            value='id1,dad@AST380011A=5JV8JC2W'
      or value='id1,dad@AST380011A=3JVA121M'

    Is there a solution to clone a Blade on another one?
