Solaris 7 large disk handling

[sammol]

I want to copy my existing solaris to another machine for testing purpose.
Original machine (Let say Machine A)have 20 GB HD and the other machine (Machine B) have 40GB...
But I found my motherboard on Machine B is support up to 33GB...
So I set the jumper to clip the 40GB hard disk to 33.8GB...
I use ufsdump first dump the root of the Machine A...
Then use Solaris 7 Installation CD to boot Machine B...
Break to command prompt during setup...
When I type format and choose the the 40 GB HD...
It ask me to input CHS and some parameter...
I have no idea on it and use the CHS parameter from motherbroad HD detection...
I partition the Harddisk to 15GB on c0d0s0 and 15GB on c0d0s1...newfs to c0d0s0 and mount it
Then start to restore the system on c0d0s0 use ufsrestore...
I found it have no problem...then I install the boot block...

However, When I boot...the boot manager tell me it have problem on read the HD...it can't read the kernel...and sereval error...

Anyone have Idea?

In addition...
I have done the exactly same thing before when I migrate the solaris from a 6 GB HD to a 20 GB HD...
It work well and no need to setup the CHS parameter when format...how come it ask me for this HD...
