I used to do it that way too, s1 swap, but starting at cyl 0. Although over time I figured it doesn't make much difference one way or the other. It would be interesting to know which Solaris 9 you hit that issue with mirroring and track 0. I've had Solaris 9 for the longest time with s0 being / and containing track 0 and mirrored and never hit that problem.
