AFAIK Sun machines can boot an OS installed on any disk that is seen by the OBP.
Since you said you did a dump|restore to clone the disk I think it's
possible that the disklabel is wrong or something for the boot
sequence missing.
If you have an install CD I'd recommend you trying a fresh install on
the SCSI drive. If the machine can boot from this just do the
dump|restore of the ATA drive again.
