Dear managers,

one part of setting up a boot mirror with disksuite is to go to the ok
promt and do something like

        ok printenv
        ok nvalias bootdisk /pci@1c,600000/scsi@2/disk
        ok nvalias mirrdisk /pci@1c,600000/scsi@2,1/disk
        ok setenv boot-device disk0 disk1 net
        ok boot

However as I learned from google there is no OBP on x86 systems. What
do I have to do to make the system boot from the second disk (if the
first fails), except setting the boot order in the BIOS (provided I
have done all the usual metattach stuff)? Or is this already sufficient?

Thanks a lot!

Regards,

   Andreas
