I believe the drives in the 220r and 440 are interchangeable.

You should be able to put your 220r drives into the 440r and boot off of 
those drives.

With luck you have the 220r drives mirrored to another drives. So if 
things go south, you have something to move back to.

Then the tricky part might show up because the 440r might not be 
architecturally similar to the 220r. My hunch is that they are 
architecturally which will make the boot super easy.

If they are not, dust off the most recent Solaris 8 (02/04 was the last 
release)install media that you have. Run an upgrade on the 440r with the 
220r disk installed. That should apply the  driver updates you need to 
boot.

After that it's a matter of cleaning things up.

My guess is that your running NB 3.4. Which will run fine on Solaris 8.

Don't go to solaris 10 with NB 6.0 if your planning on using BMR.
