Do you copy *all* the device entries using tar, or just the ones you
think need making, such as dev/null and dev/tcp? And the SunOS version
of tar does *not* correctly create devices and pipes, it instead creates
files. Solaris may have the same problem. 

You could then use the GNU version of tar, or use "cd $SPOOLDIR; dump
0f - / | restore xvf - ./dev" to get them correctly.

I dunno Solaris enough to help much. What do you get when your run
