After I posted advice on how to get an install image that was
generated for target 0 to work with target 3,
I received several more suggestions about making the
system boot from target 0.
The advice is
setenv boot-device disk0
I have not tried this, but it makes sense.
Naturally, the documentation does not mention that the
acceptible choices are
disk net disk0 disk1 .....
Karl provided the answer.
1. Set CD to target 3
2. boot /sbus/esp@0,800000/sd@0,0 -sr
3. edit /etc/vfstab to reference target 3
4. change disk jumpers to target 3 (after power off)
5. power on and everything works as target 3
Another suggestion was to setenv boot-device
however, the values that I could see are 'disk' or 'net'
It was already set to disk.
Thanks
