Thanks. I'm pretty sure I had done this, but to verify, I booted the
install ISO, then mounted and chroot'd into the softraid. The following
was run:
# chroot /mnt
# installboot -v sd4
Using / as root
installing bootstrap on /dev/rsd4c
using first-stage /usr/mdec/bootblk, second-stage /usr/mdec/ofwboot
boot block is 5840 bytes (12 blocks @ 512 bytes = 6144 bytes)
sd4: softraid volume with 2 disk(s)
sd4: installing boot loader on softraid volume
sd2a: installing boot blocks on /dev/rsd2c
writing boot block to disk /dev/rsd2c
sd3a: installing boot blocks on /dev/rsd3c
writing boot block to disk /dev/rsd3c
# halt
After that a "boot disk2 sr0" produces the same results. "Unknown device: sr0"

Well, unless the kung-fu knows something different about sd0 vs sd2/sd3,
I don't know what it might not be doing for me. :-/
Thanks. The next thing I'll have to trace is why ofwboot could be
saying "Unknown device", and/or "Unknown error: code 19". Let me know
if anyone has any other thoughts. I'm clearly getting close. :-)
