Not really, because it's not a replication method that Solaris is designed to support. Your first problem will be in /boot/solaris/bootenv.rc, but there will be many others. Just install to the device, if it's seen as a disk by the system that should work just fine. Or use Live Upgrade to clone it. Dave
