    Gurus,

    I have an E450 that I am cloning from an E4500. The O.S. is Solaris 8.
    The customer wants the server to be as close a copy of the original as
    possible. Thus an O.S. reload is impractical.
    The disk interfaces on the E3500 are "sbus" and the interfaces on the E450
    are "pci".

    I have made a ufsdump from the E3500 to a ufsrestore on the E450 using a
    temporary O.S. built from the CDROM.
    I erased /dev/dsk/* and /dev/rdsk/*, /devices and /etc/path_to_inst on the
    restored system.
    I performed a boot -r and instead of getting my root drive on c0t0d0 like
    I expected it ends up on c74t0d0s0.
    The rest of the disks on the system are equally offset by "74".

    I remember reading a response on this site about 6 months ago that spoke
    of another file somewhere that contained the device numbering that was not
    one of the above files.

    Basically, what files need to be cleared or deleted to force the system to
    totally reinventory the hardware and recreate all the linkages from
    scratch.
    How do I get my disks to address from "0" instead of "74".

    Thanks!
