Here's how to boot off sd2 (on a 4.0 4/110 anyway) (it must have /vmunix, /boot and /boot must be installed w/ installboot.) >b sd(0,4,0) /* 4!! */ /* this boots off sd2a and then mounts sd0a as root */ To boot and run off sd2a: (must have the above and a full root file system.) >b sd(0,4,0) -a /* -a = "ask me" -- see Admin Manual */ /* The first time you are asked "mount root on?" answer "sd4a". The 2nd time you are asked "mount root on?" answer "sd2a". */ This was all non-documented and non-intuitive enough that I felt like sharing it w/ you all.
