Talk about trouble.... From the path_to_inst man page:

    WARNINGS
         If the file is removed the system may not be bootable (as it
         may rely on information found in this file to find the root,
         usr or swap device). If it does successfully boot, it will
         regenerate the file, but after rebooting devices may end up
         having different minor numbers than they did before, and
         special files created via mknod(1M) may refer to different
         devices than expected.

         For the same reasons, changes should not be made to this
         file without careful consideration.
