problem booting veritas on V480

After encapsulating the rootdisk, we're having problems booting
from the address that vxbootsetup sticks into nvramrc ...

the devaliases at the ok prompt currently lists disk as:

/pci@9,600000/SUNW,qlc@2/fp@0,0/disk@0,0

The nvramrc lists a devalias of:

nvramrc=devalias vx-rootdisk /pci@9,600000/SUNW,qlc@2/fp@0,0/ssd@w21000004cfb50959,0:a

boot-device=vx-rootdisk vx-rootmirror
use-nvramrc?=true

format shows that the location of c1t0d0 ( rootdisk ) is:

          /pci@9,600000/SUNW,qlc@2/fp@0,0/ssd@w21000004cfb50959,0

Yet, we cannot boot using anything other than:

 "boot disk"
or
 "boot /pci@9,600000/SUNW,qlc@2/fp@0,0/disk@w21000004cfb50959,0

boot vx-rootdisk
boot /pci@9,600000/SUNW,qlc@2/fp@0,0/ssd@w21000004cfb50959,0:a
boot /pci@9,600000/SUNW,qlc@2/fp@0,0/ssd@w21000004cfb50959,0

all return: Can't locate boot device ...

So, it appears that /etc/vx/bin/vxbootsetup doesn't necessarily work
with this platform?

Thanks,
paul
