Solution(s):
----
1. swapped in the 20, using the OS disk from the SPARC 5.
2. boot single user to the solaris cd. (boot cdrom -sw)
3. mount /dev/dsk/c0t3d0s0 /a (assuming the boot disk is target 3)
4. cd /tmp/dev; tar cvfp - . | (cd /a/dev; tar xvfp -)
5. cd /tmp/devices; tar cvfp - . | (cd /a/devices; tar xvfp -)
6. cd /tmp/root/etc
7. cp path_to_inst /a/etc/path_to_inst
8. halt
9. boot -r
----
----
What you need to do is change the board, boot from cdrom and mount the disk
(say on /a). Remove the contents of the /a/dev and /a/devices
directories. Copy /etc/path_to_inst to /a/etc/path_to_inst. Then do:
drvconfig -p /a/etc/path_to_inst -r /a
devlinks -r /a
disks -r /a

This has been answered in good detail a few times.

echo "#path_to_inst_bootstrap_1" > /etc/path_to_inst
Followed by "boot -r"
----
----
Boot from CD;
Mount rootdisk on /a;
mv /a/etc/path_to_inst /a/etc/path_to_inst.old
cp /etc/path_to_inst /a/etc
cd /devices
rm -rf *
cd /dev
rm -rf *
drvconfig -p /a/etc/path_to_inst -r /a
disks -r /a
reboot -- -r
