Hi Mangaers,

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@1f,0/pci@1,1/ide@3/dad@0,0
 1. c0t2d0 <ST340014A cyl 65529 alt 2 hd 16 sec 63>
          /pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/ide@3/dad@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@1f,0/pci@1,1/ide@3/disk@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@1f,0/pci@1,1/ide@3/dad@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.

Sriman
