Configuring a new disk as bootable - Solaris 2.51
My goal is to attach a new hard drive to the system and make it bootable.
Then I want to configure the system to boot between the existing system
bootable harddrive and the newly reconfigured hard drive. I think the
following procedures are a start; let me know if I omitted something.
Procedures for making the new disk bootable:
1) format harddrive
2) newfs
3) Should I use Installboot and copy over the boot block?
Configure system for dual boot:
1) setenv boot-device disk<disk#>
2) setenv auto-boot? false
3) reset
4) boot <current boot disk> or <new boot disk>
5) Did I leave anything out??
