I just restored my root partation and now I cannot boot. What is wrong?

        What is wrong?


        You probably need to run installboot.  Under Solaris 1, boot
        from cdrom, boot the miniroot, mount the root filesystem on
        /mnt, and reinstall the boot block:

            cd /usr/kvm/mdec    # note - miniroot's usr, not sd0's
            installboot -vlt /mnt/boot bootsd /dev/rsd0a

        For Solaris 2, the equivalent command, which may also live
        outside the miniroot, would be:

            /usr/sbin/installboot /usr/lib/fs/ufs/bootblk \
            /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0

        Under Solaris 1, if only your /vmunix is bad, you may not need
        to restore anything from tape.  Before running installboot:

            cp /mnt/usr/kvm/sys///vmunix /mnt/vmunix
