So, I tried a few things to re-write and update the disk labels on sd2/sd3,
and on the softraid (sd4). I tried reinstalling the boot blocks and loader
on the softraid. I seem to always get this error, with the normal and
with the debugging version of ofwboot. So, my plan to get more information
to help debug why ofwboot is able to boot from a softraid mirror on sd0/sd1,
but _not_ on sd2/sd3, I am stuck.
If someone has some ideas of what I did wrong, or if making the change
to SR_BOOT_LOADER_SIZE is causing this, let me know. I swear when I built
a installation on sd0/sd1 with the larger SR_BOOT_LOADER_SIZE I did _not_
see this error, so I think I may just have messed up setting up the sd2/sd3
softraid, but I can't figure out out to fix it.
But, lacking any other suggestions, I'm going to bail at this point. We
should document that on sparc64, ofwboot knows how to boot from softraid,
but at the moment it appears not to work other than sd0/sd1. Or, if someone
else has a system running where they're booting off of a softraid mirror
on later disks, let me know.
But, for my use case, I'm just going to drop back to sd0/sd1, which seemed
to work.
Thanks all.
