I'm following the NetBSD guide to setting up a RAID 1 set with RAIDFrame, 
which shall be bootable (NetBSD 2.0/i386).

I have come so far that I have the raid set up and running on wd1 with 
"absent" as the other component, and original installation remaining on 
wd0. I cannot boot from wd1, however, only from wd0.

I did

/usr/sbin/installboot -v /dev/rwd1a /usr/mdec/bootxx_ffsv1

to install a boot loader on wd1 and changed the BIOS to boot from 
secondary disk. It does read and start the ffsv1 bootloader, but the 
bootloader can't read /boot.

Why? I did as the cookbook said in section 15.3.7, but it didn't work! ;-)

Here's the URL to that section, for information:

Cheers,
- Anders
