Okay, first part done:
# cp /etc/vfstab /etc/vfstab.orig [backup]
# vi /etc/vfstab [# at begin of line with "/second_root"]
# umount /second_root/
# lustatus
[2 lines with ERROR; that is okay, no boot environment created yet]
# lucreate -m /:/dev/dsk/c1d0s4:ufs -c nv81 -n nv91

This shows that after a reboot nv81 will be booted. [default 0 == snv_81]
Next I'll try a reboot. This is so exciting, I did almost the same some months
ago, and then it didn't boot, and nobody could help me to recover the system. I
think I didn't uncomment the second_root in vfstab then, though.
And tell me nobody, this was easy and foolproof. I had made a mistake,
originally, here:
# lucreate -m /:/dev/dsk/c0d0s4:ufs -c nv81 -n nv91

I wonder on which disk it did what it did?
