Maybe
>b st()
Boot: st(0,0,4)
Size: some_number+some_number+some_number bytes
Standalone Copy
From: st(0,0,5)
To: sd(0,0,1)
Boot: sd(0,0,1)vmunix -as
Size: some_number+some_number+some_number bytes
Sun UNIX 4.2 Release 3.2 (GENERIC)

root device? sd0*

You need the "-as" option when you boot vmunix and you need the
