It won't cause any problems for the motherboard, as long as it is done VERY 
carfully. Also, what type of machine is it? On most newer Sun's you can just 
pull of the NVRAM/hostid prom and plop it on to the new motherboard. This is 
MUCH safer. Since an error in the prgramming of the new hostid could cost 
you a new NVRAM chip.
