[rescue] slow me

[Steve Sandau]

I seem to remember installing Solaris on my SS2 one time and having it
(somehow through a goof of mine) latch onto a disk at ID 0 or 1. Solaris
Install changed the default boot device in the boot PROM so it always
booted from that disk. I assume (!) that you can change that manually in
the OBP, but I also seem to remember that the syntax for specifying
*which* disk to boot from is not obvious.

Anyone else done this and remeber better than I?
