Rui,

Thanks for fixing my XML.  I just copied and modified text from the
i386 section above.  I do not know how to write it correctly.

I am currently testing two ideas I have with regard to RAID-1 boot
disks on sparc64:

  * I may not have properly aligned the partitions on cylinder
    boundaries when using disklabel for both sd0 and sd1.  I am
    redoing everything now to determine if that is the cause of my
    troubles.

  * If the first idea fails then I will redo everything but will
    create a small partition for the storage of ofwboot per the URL I
    included earlier.

Upon completion of these tests I will be in a position to answer your
question regarding the RAIDframe documentation.
