The answer is:
it should not have problems.

None that I can think of - as long as the filesystem is okay
and you have the PROM set to look for the bootblock and kernel
there. ( I think that this is all done automatically when
you do the install.)
Having said that ...
The only problem is with humans - we are used to seeing the
bootblock and root partition at slice 0, and if the PROM is
reset to defaults, it too will revert to slice 0. If it was
my machine I would reconfigure it just to prevent me from
making a mistake at a future time when I may not remember that
this machine is different than any of the others.

I think he is right. I am reinstalling now.
