Anyone who knows the solution please tell me why I am having this problem?

Motherboard: ASUS A7V133 x86
OS: Solaris 10 3/05

I successfully copied root, /var, /opt and /home filesystems from the source 
root disk (13GB) to the destination root disk (40GB UDMA) using "ufsdump 0f - 
/dev/rdsk/c1d0sn | (cd /mnt; ufsrestore xf -)"

I then did the following steps:

1. fdisk -b /usr/lib/fs/ufs/mboot /dev/rdsk/c0d0p0 (new active boot disk)
2. installboot /usr/platform/i86pc/lib/fs/ufs/pboot 
/usr/platform/i86pc/lib/fs/ufs/bootblk /dev/rdsk/c0d0s2 
3. Updated vfstab to  point to the new disk slices
4. Updated /boot/solaris/bootenv.rc to point to the right physical IDE location 
of the new disk (ie change from setprop bootpath '/[EMAIL PROTECTED],0/[EMAIL 
PROTECTED],1/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED],0:a'  to setprop bootpath 
'/[EMAIL PROTECTED],0/[EMAIL PROTECTED],1/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL 
PROTECTED],0:a')

I then rebooted and updated BIOS to boot from the new disk.

The machine then hangs and I am seeing this error "Not a UFS file system".

I looked everywhere on the Internet for useful tips but all said the same 
thing, to make a disk bootable you need to run installboot which is exactly 
what I did.

So what went wrong? Anyone out there knows please tell me? Please help.
