Hello,

I never asked the question to the list,
but after seaching the sun-managers archives,
I only found a few uncomplete solutions.

This one is more robust, but probably not fool prouf.
If you have a different architecture, then some package would
be missing and they would need to be added once booted from the cdrom.

==============================================================================
Move the disk from Ultra-1 to Ultra-2
Boot from 2.5.1 CDROM

# Mount the old boot disk
mount /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 /a

# Devices will be different, but we keep a copy.
mv /a/dev /a/DEV.Ultra-1
mv /a/devices /a/DEVICES.Ultra-1

# Now create new dir
mkdir /a/dev /a/devices
chmod o-w /a/dev /a/devices
chmod g-s /a/dev /a/devices
chgrp sys /a/dev /a/devices

# Vanilla path_to_inst
cp /a/etc/path_to_inst /a/etc/path_to_inst.old

# Get the devices directory from the CDROM boot
cd /
tar cf - devices | (cd /a; tar xpf -)

# Get a brand new /dev directory from sources
cd /cdrom/export/exec/kvm/sparc.Solaris_2.5.1
tar cf - dev | (cd /a; tar xpf -)

# Maybe I should get the /devices directory from the CDROM too????

# Now configure the /dev directory
cd /a
/usr/sbin/drvconfig -p /a/etc/path_to_inst -r /a
/usr/sbin/devlinks -r /a
/usr/sbin/disks -r /a
/usr/sbin/ports -r /a
/usr/sbin/tapes -r /a
/usr/sbin/audlinks -r /a
/usr/ucb/ucblinks -r /a

# Not many of us use bd...
cd /dev
/usr/bin/ln -s /dev/term/b /dev/bd.off

# Final reboot
reboot -- -r
