After this happened. You are right that I took the 1st disk from the
system put it as Primary-Slave. Then I,

   - Re-install OSR5.04 on a new Primary-Master Disk.
   - Run divvy /dev/hd1a and I saw that the "root" partition was
changed to "DOS" but others are still "HTFS". I realised that that's
the cause of "srmountfun" problem. I had "root" partition as "DOS"!
   - I renamed the "DOS" and "HTFS" partitions and tried to mount them
but I could not mount the "DOS" even I installed the OSR5 "DOS"
support.
   - I mounted all other "HTFS" as Read-Write using scoadmin a few
hours after that I found that I could not access the directories on
the mounted "HTFS" partitions.
   - I reboot because I realised that there were some IP alias
conflicts with another server on the network.
   - After I reboot. I had some errors saying it could not mount those
"HTFS" partitions.
   - I ran divvy again and found that they have all changed to "DOS"
