[rescue] easy way to boot disks with an add on SCSI card?

[Peter Stokes]

Hi Clifford

It would be good as start to understand which system you are talking about?

As to booting Solaris from any supported SCSI interface, it is normally
possible, though as others have said you may have to ideally setup a devalias
or setenv the boot path using the actual path rather than an alias.

If I remember correctly you use the command something like

disks

Select the device path to use with ^Y and then add the disk and partition you
want.
