Hi All,
Solution for my problem boils down to:
Run /usr/kvm/mdec/installboot on the device. I did not do this! ;(
Thanks to all who responded, and apologies for saying "ick!" to IPI.

The original question:.........................
______________________________________________________________________________
We have a Sparc 670 w/SunOS4.1.3 and an IPI (expletive deleted) controller.
Recently, we added a scsi card to the sbus and hooked up scsi drives - for
all but root partition. All worked fine. We then daisy-chained another
drive (yes, and correctly set the device switch on it) on the scsi bus with
a copy of the root partition.
How do I make that the boot device? I tried changing the boot-device at the
ok> prompt, but to no avail (syntax problem maybe?). The IPI's are still on
line and will remain so.
probe-scsi-all sees the new drive - its there alright, just need to boot to it.
