I tried to clone a boot drive ( on a bigger one ), using one of the

formatted by the script, and cloned. The data is present if I mount
it

The issue starts when I change the id and try to boot from it...

What is the script? The best online resource I can suggest is Ian Mapleson's page on cloning, at http://www.sgidepot.co.uk/disksfiles.html#CLONE (use the tar method if the disk is EFS rather than XFS). I do this quite often without any issue, mostly on Indys, though I use tar slightly differently (to exclude /proc and mounts).

If you boot with the original working disk, with the clone connected, what does fx(1M) show for the clone? [start fx (you need to be root), select the controller, drive,and LUN 0, then do label, show, all]

From Prom, ls gives :

dksc(0,1,8)/:
sgilabel sash symmon
esf read error, bad count
no file
system found for "/".

and what does the output of nvram(1M) show, especially for SystemPartition and OSLoadPartition?
