SUMMARY - mirror disk1 will not boot

Thanks for all the replies.

Everyone said to run

installboot /usr/platform/`uname -i`/lib/fs/ufs/bootblk
/dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s0

Which I did.
But I also had to apply about 80 patches per SUN support and undo the
mirrors and rebuild everything.

I can now boot from the mirror disk.
