After copying the root filesystem, you may need to rebuild the device tree - this is how:


  1. Drop to the open boot prom
  2. Boot to single user mode from cd-rom or network:
    3. ok} boot cdrom -s
  3. Perform the fsck - You need to know the controller, target, drive, and slice of the root filesystem:
    4. # fsck -y /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0
  4. Mount the internal drive on /mnt
    5. # mount /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 /mnt
  5. Delete the /etc/path_to_inst and device files from the internal drive 
    6. # rm /mnt/etc/path_to_inst
# rm /mnt/dev/dsk/*
# rm /mnt/dev/rdsk/*
  6. Recreate the device files and the /etc/path_to_inst 
    7. # devfsadm -r /mnt -p /mnt/etc/path_to_inst
  7. For Solaris 2.7 and below:
    8. # drvconfig -r /mnt/devices -p /mnt/etc/path_to_inst
# devlinks -r /mnt
# disks -r /mnt
# tapes -r /mnt
# ports -r /mnt
# audlinks -r /mnt
