Hi all,

Thanks for all your quick responses. My original question was:

I got about 15 responses which basically told me that the bootblock should
be installed after full restore. Don Freeley (donf@brother.com) even gave
the detail steps which was really appreciated and is attached below:

> 6.) umount /a
> 7.) cd /usr/lib/fs/ufs
> 8.) installboot bootblk /dev/rdsk/c0t3d0s0
> 9.) reboot

I did not list all your name who gave the great help to me.
Thanks again.
