i'm trying to move everything to another drive, but i can't seem to make it
bootable. i've run sgivol -w boot /usr/mdec/boot sd1, but arc doesn't want
to boot it.

when i try to boot, it seems to exec the loader, but i get this:

Boot: scsi(1)disk(5)partition(0)netbsd
devopen: scsi(1)disk(5)partition(0) type scsi file netbsd
open scsi(1)disk(5)partition(0)netbsd: No such file or directory
Boot failed! Halting...

/netbsd is definetly there, however.

i have netbsd installed and booting from sd0. sd1 is the drive i'm moving
everything to.

sgivol sd0:
Volume header files:
boot     offset    2 blocks, length    50464 bytes (99 blocks)

SGI partitions:
 0:a blocks  7947440 first     3280 type  4 (BSD4.2)
 1:b blocks   524800 first  7950720 type  3 (Raw)
 3:d blocks     3280 first        0 type  4 (BSD4.2)
 8:i blocks     3296 first        0 type  0 (Volume Header)
10:k blocks  8482080 first        0 type  6 (Volume)

sgivol sd1:
Volume header files:
boot     offset    2 blocks, length    50464 bytes (99 blocks)

SGI partitions:
 0:a blocks  2066725 first     3135 type  4 (BSD4.2)
 8:i blocks     3135 first        0 type  0 (Volume Header)
10:k blocks  2069860 first        0 type  6 (Volume)

i think the problem may be the missing 1 3 partitions. there's no docs for
sgivol, and i don't know how to force it to add those.
