Q? Reconfiguring Solaris x86 device trees after moving my USB disk from one port to another ...

Hi:
(( BTW Thanks Juergen Keil for the "bootenv.rc" suggestion on
my first posting. After incorporating that, I still have
the problem, so here is the repost))....
After moving my USB drive from one USB port to another on my
laptop, I need to reconfigure/re-order the Solaris 10 x86
(nv48) device trees so that it can boot again. Right now,
it does not boot as attached to the new USB port.
So as shown below, I performed the standard reconfiguration
steps I have many times over the years, yet they do not seem
to be enough on Solaris 10 x86. Here they are. What did
I miss (TIA!):
====================================================
Step 1) boot to failsafe ramdisk based O/S
Step 2) mount -F ufs -o rw /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s0 /a
Step 3) (see rest that follows)...
rm -f /a/dev/dsk/*
rm -f /a/dev/rdsk/*
rm -f /a/etc/path_to_inst
(I never "rm" the /devices tree; I only append to it)
cp /tmp/root/etc/path_to_inst /a/etc/path_to_inst
cd /dev/dsk; find . | cpio -pudm /a/dev/dsk
cd /dev/rdsk; find . | cpio -pudm /a/dev/rdsk
cd /devices; find . | cpio -pudm /a/devices
vi /a/boot/solaris/bootenv.rc
(adjusted the "bootpath" property to it reflects the
device path for the new location of c1t0d0).
/sbin/bootadm update_archive -v -R /a
=====================================================
So after doing all that and rebooting, I get the GRUB menu
and select Solaris to boot normally. What happens? The initial
Solaris banner shows up (and nothing else). It just hangs
forever. I specified "-v" to the kernel line within GRUB, and
I see its gets to the "PCI Express device line (early)", and
thats it (it goes no further).
Did I miss something?
Thanks,
