Well my approach was correct, but my SPARC experience got in the way It turns out there is a huge difference between how Intel and SPARC boots. In the SPARC world you have to install the boot block on the root slice of the boot disk. In the Intel World you have to install the boot block on slice 2 of the boot disk. Furthermore, the way I am trying to do it, I have two instanced of Solaris installed on the same physical disk. The idea is that if I need to restore, I can just boot to the second instance which is installed on slice 7 and then newfs the other file systems, mount them, and initiate the restore. I don't actually need to install the boot block because there is already a valid boot block on the disk.
