I got a couple of answers, but nobody quite got the problem, though one reply did inspire me to look at /etc/system, which was the source of my woes - there was a rootdev entry there pointing to a non existent (yet) metadevice. I removed that entry and I could then boot and start recreating the metadevices. I may have to turn this into a Jumpstart recipe, so it's good to know. __ Kindest regards, Niall O Broin MakaluMedia Group | http://makalumedia.com _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagersReceived on Fri Jul 15 12:20:10 2011
