> Let me know if you can confirm that interpretation of "sr0a"
Yes, "sr" == "softraid," but when I pulled the working config from my systems, I discovered that there's an unintuitive syntax that I had forgotten about, which is probeblty your missing piece. It looks like I actually set boot-device = "disk0" and boot-file = "sr0" (notice the omitted file and slice into), and the loader auto-selected "sr0:a/bsd" (no that's not a typo... "sr" + [softraid number] + ":" + [root slice on softraid dev] + "/bsd"). Give that a shot. That's jogging my memory about having to dig through source for the sparc64 loader to discover that very unintutive syntax.
