Ummm, could you back up a bit there? What do you mean "disk isn't sync'd so boot should fail"? I'm coming from UFS of course where I'd expect to be able to fix a damaged boot drive as it drops into a single-user root prompt.
I believe I did try boot disk1 but that failed I think due to prior trial with it, where I scrambled it with dd, then resilvered. Then removed it, replaced, resilvered it. Think I ended up with unusable boot sector on disk1 that didn't work but I didn't copy the message down sorry. I suppose all that would have been left is boot from media or jumpstart server in single-user and attempt repairs. Unfortunately I have since re-jumpstarted the system clean. This was plain nv90 both times by the way no /etc/system tweaks. I have to pull the motherboard on the V240 and replace it tomorrow, maybe on Friday I will be able to repeat my experiment. Just wanted to run through some failure-modes so I know what to expect when boot drives die on me. Thanks!
