Hi Hans
First of all, thank you very much, for your warmly help, I make usbdisk
bootable just by install Solaris on usb disk, so I can boot it normally
on original computer, but, if I use the USB disk on another computer,
maybe it will get trouble, because there are difference between the
original computer and other computers. But my target is to careate a
automatically boot USB that I can use everywhere instead of modify grub
of other configfile every time. So I think maybe somewhere during boot
procedure I can change the bootpath or some configfile by script of
program. Do you have some experience for that? Or could you give me some
advice where can I find some useful material. Thank you once again.

Hi, Kevin, interesting experiment.
Could you brief your process of making USB disk image before more help can be
given ?
As a suggestion on a 2nd computer, please connect the USB disk. But instead of
booting from it, boot from CD-ROM (or miniboot if any, unavailable for 2008.05
at default ?), and then do format to figure out the PCI path, and compare with
it on the 1st computer. If they differ, mount the USB disk on the 2nd computer
as /a while in CD-ROM boot, and correct path by doing,
mv /a/dev /a/dev.orig
mv /a/devices /a/devices.orig
mv /a/etc/path_to_inst /a/etc/path_to_inst.orig
devfsadm -r /a # rebuild device tree
It is useful to put the above and below in a script if switching computers is
common.
Now fix the boot path, by editing /a/boot/solaris/bootenv.rc and fixing line with
"setprop bootpath '/[EMAIL PROTECTED],0....' to match the path you'll find
mounted for /a .
Fix /etc/vfstab if needed.
Recreate archive
bootadm update-archive -v -R /a
touch /a/reconfigure
cd /; sync; sync; umount /a; init 6
The ideas above are stolen from VMware to Virtual Box migration as in
http://blogs.sun.com/jimlaurent/entry/importing_solaris_vmdk_image_into
I think it might work for device migration in general. Give all credits to Jim
if it works.
Good luck.
Hans
