The 1st answer is correct, however you need to user fmthard
command to cp disk partition info in order to have exact
disk size.

metainit d1 1 1 <existing root slice(c0t0d0s0>

prtvtoc /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s2 | fmthard -s - /dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s2

metainit d2 1 1 <new harddisk slice (cot1dos0)

metainit d12 -m d1

metaroot d12

lockfs -af

init6

metattach d12 d2

metastat

installboot /usr/platform/'uname -
i'/lib/fs/ufs/booblk /dev/rdskcot1doso

init 0

ok>nvalias newdisk /phisicalpathname(/pci@1f........)

ok>setenv boot-device disk newdisk
