Data flar restore with svm mirrors failing to create boot image
In a Solaris9 environment I'm trying to restore flash archive (flar) with SVM mirrored devices to same server via jumpstart server and it is failing to create boot file and drops down to a command prompt in single user mode, metastat -i and metastat -p output looks good when compared to the ones before the restore, when I try to boot off the disk it says boot file not found, any help is very much appreciated Smilie

Below is the console output where it is failing,
