Yeah, that's the puzzle for me. There are two internal disks and one externa= l, as the main/boot disk started to fail and I turned the internal clone I k= ept updated into the boot disk. What I can't figure out is how to change the= boot disk without sitting in front of the console or even find out what it i= s. It should be booting and running on ad3 where it used to be ad2. ad2 in i= n the chassis but not doing anything, just spinning. sysctl will reveal the b= ooting kernel but does it reveal the boot device?=20
