    Dear managers,

    thanks a lot to

    Mike Keplinger
    Bobby Williams
    David Stempnakowski

    and many others that tried to help me. I went through the whole setup
    once again, waited for the resync and tried again. This time it worked.
    Could not find out what went wrong the first time. However, it seems to
    be import to find the correct labels for booting the disks. Some
    documents indicate to do

            ls -l /dev/rdsk/c1t1d0s0

            lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 74 Jun 26 17:27
    /dev/rdsk/c1t1d0s0 ->
    ../../devices/pci@8,600000/SUNW,qlc@4/fp@0,0/
    ssd@w21000004cffd1290,0:a,raw

    and then use

            boot /pci@8,600000/SUNW,qlc@4/fp@0,0/disk@w21000004cffd1290,0:a,raw

    at the ok prompt. This fails with "Can't open boot device". I don't
    know why. Does anyone? However, "boot disk1" or "boot
    /pci@8,600000/SUNW,qlc@4/fp@0,0/disk@1,0" does work. I am a happy
    manager now!!! :-)

    Thanks a lot to all,

        Andreas
