sparc64

[Eric Jungkurth]

Has anyone successfully configured gmirror or vinum on sparc64? I've 
had no luck on more than one V120 and a U60. If you've done it, please 
let me know how.

I suspect that some part of the process is writing to NVRAM somewhere 
outside of the label area, if that's the correct terminology. 
Specifically, the Forth interpreter will suddenly start auto-completion 
of commands, and will not accept common commands if it doesn't like 
them. For instance, when trying to boot from cdrom, the interpreter 
completes "boo" to "boot ", the only accepts "cd" after that, and does 
not accept any more characters after that, so when I try to enter "boot 
cdrom", I can only get to "boot cd", which of course isn't very 
helpful.

This condition can apparently be cleared by doing a reset-all, but not 
by doing set-defaults.

No matter what tack I've taken, I seemed to hit a dead end when it 
comes time to label the disks.

I'd appreciate any help anyone might give me, and I'm more than happy 
to help test. I'm comfortable making code changes or debugging, if that 
would help. I'd need some pointers, though.

Thanks,

Eric
