It failed to boot the drive. AFAIK Sun machines can boot an OS installed on any disk that is seen by the OBP. Since you said you did a dump|restore to clone the disk I think it's possible that the disklabel is wrong or something for the boot sequence missing. If you have an install CD I'd recommend you trying a fresh install on the SCSI drive. If the machine can boot from this just do the dump|restore of the ATA drive again. HTH Christian
