Alternate boot disk on U10
2007-12-25 2:05:00
I have 2 disks in my Ultra10 as shown here:
Inside system in format command:
0. c0t0d0 <Seagate Medalist 34342A cyl 8892 alt 2 hd 15 sec 63>
/pci at 1f,0/pci at 1,1/ide at 3/dad at 0,0
1. c0t2d0 <ST340014A cyl 65529 alt 2 hd 16 sec 63>
/pci at 1f,0/pci at 1,1/ide at 3/dad at 2,0
and at the OK prompt
ok probe-ide
Device 0 ( Primary Master )
ATA Model: ST34342A
Device 1 ( Primary Slave )
Not Present
Device 2 ( Secondary Master )
ATA Model: ST340014A
Device 3 ( Secondary Slave )
Removable ATAPI Model: CRD-8240B
My current boot disk is disk0 as:
disk0 /pci at 1f,0/pci at 1,1/ide at 3/disk at 0,0
booting from disk0 is fine, but when I want to boot from the second disk I can't . This is what I have done so far:
1. ufsdump of c0t0d0s0 and ufsrestore to c0t2d0s0
2. Installed the boot block on c0t2d0s0.
3. Created a devalias at ok prompt for my second disk as:
otherroot /pci at 1f,0/pci at 1,1/ide at 3/dad at 2,0
after reset and run
boot otherroot
I get the following error message:
Can't open boot device
Where am I making mistake?
Thanks for your help in advance.
