[Sunhelp] Problem in booting from a mirror disk8 in a UE-250 server.

[Robert Brady]

Mr. Srikanta:

The 'dd' command does not copy over the bootblock information from the source 
disk.  On the target disk run the installboot command(the man page has the 
syntax) in order to make that disk bootable.

Hope this helps.
