bootadm hangs after moving the boot disk between laptops

Hi,

I have moved the boot disk from an IBM T23 to a Dell L400 and have the system 
reset at booting problem, so need to rebuild the boot archive.

However, after booting into safemode and mounting /a read+write I issue the 
command:

bootadm update-archive -R /a

And after the output:  updating /a/platform/i86pc/boot_archive...this may take 
a minute

The command just sleeps forever (I switched off after 2 hours).  A triss just 
shows it sleeping.

Can anyone help or do I need to re-install ?

Regards,

Carl
