    Hi,

    I have an enterprise 250 server with Solaris 8 and I have created mirror of
    c0t0d0 with c0t9d0 and c0t8d0 with c0t10d0 with following configuration.

    [1] slices /, swap, /var and /tmp are on c0t0d0 and working fine with
    submirror c0t9d0.

    [2] slices /usr, /export/home and /opt on c0t8d0 and working fine with
    submirror c0t10d0.

    Just to check that whether server works with new configuration in case of fail
    I shut down machine and removed c0t8d0 disk from server and boot the system
    now system is giving below error:

    WARNING - /usr/sbin/fsck not found. Most likely the
    mount of /usr failed or the /usr filesystem is badly
    damaged. The system is being halted. Either reinstall
    the system or boot with the -b option in an attempt
    to recover.

    syncing file systems... done
    Program terminated
    ok
