When will all the goodness described in the lucreate manpage (or on
http://docs.sun.com) become reality?
Reading how lucreate can split my mirror for /, creating a new one
with the split off side preserving the contents, ready to be
upgraded, I tried upgrading build 34 to build 40 only to find
sunsolve doc 81130 ...
Which would be the steps to manually do
# lucreate -m /:/dev/md/dsk/d20:ufs,mirror \
-m /:/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0:detach,attach,preserve -n nextBE
?
I assume this would be correct and my problem has moved on to biosdev?

I haven't rebooted, yet. Not sure what purpose it could serve.
Booting of SATA disks. Not understanding much in that biosdev debug
output... which direction should I go now?
