SunFire X4100 M2 does'nt boot after cloning

[xunil321]

Dear all,

we are trying to clone, duplicate our X4100 under Sol 10
3/05. Therefore we booted another X4100 M2 into Single User
Mode by the Solaris 10 x86 1/06 Release CD partionned the
system accordingly and by the ufsdump/ufsrestore procedure
we tranferred the whole data sets to the new X4100 M2.
Since Solaris 10 1/06 does not support the old "installboot"
command for the bootblock installation we had to use

#installgrub /boot/grub/stage1 /boot/grub/ stage2
/dev/rdsk/c3t2d0s0

where c3t2d0s0 is the Solaris partition disk.

Now we tried to reboot the system but only the grub> prompt
is appearing. What steps are now necessary to boot the
system successfully?
(It should be mentioned that the old(original) system
does'nt use the Grub bootloader).

THX for any hint!

it is not finding the actual path to grub

go into failsafe, mount the disk and make sure you have a menu.lst (or verify its setings are correct), also, make sure that /boot/solaris/bootenv.rc is pointing to the right disks

this is good place to start
