I am using Auspex NS5000 (modified SunOS 4.0.3) as a file server.

The system disk is something wrong, so I would install a new disk
for a boot device. 

I have restored old dump of root and usr partitions to the new disk.

New disk is /dev/ad3[ag].

  1. set the dumped tape to the drive
  2. newfs the root (/dev/rad3a) and usr (/dev/rad3g) filesystems
  3. restore the filesystems to above devices
  4. at the ROM monitor, boot from a new disk

types:
  >b ad(3,0,0)vmunix

BUT, 

 Boot: ad(3,0,0)vmunix
 boot-block startup failed

So, cannot boot from the new disk.

How can I install the new boot filesystem ?
