Section 5.1.1:
There was question raised if boot disk is always determined for
x86 if selected in BIOS. Looking at following bug, there are cases
where boot disk is not reported due to the buggy BIOSes:

6831009 devfs_bootdev_get_list() doesn't report boot device on x2100 
with 2 SATA drives

 From Jan Setje Eilers:

...

The x86 behavior is expected. We have no interface to reliably map BIOS
devices to Solaris device names. Hence there is no way to return this list.
This is one thing we that will improve with EFI. However with BIOS we are out
of luck.
...


Thank you,
Jan
