Errm, there is a /lib/svc/bin/restore_repository script that will do this, and safer. Did you not try this or did you know know about this? At this point, as you have done the overwrite already, I would run this script and restore to the repo to "-seed-", since that's what you've effectively done. I recommend you do this as a safety measure, to iron out whatever problems may have been introduced from you just copying over the db and restarting the box. You may find the result just the same just as if you didn't do this, but ... you don't know.
