In some pc bios user is able to set master or slave on the controller as the boot drive. In that case would `findroot' override the bios settings? Perhaps Bob D needs to look at bios and see what is actually set there. I seemed to need to do that recently doing a very similar operation. Old disk was on slave slot and was the booting os. I added a mirror disk in master slot, resilved, ran intallgrub but still had to change the bios boot order so that now master was boot disk. _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
