Due to the criticality of my system, I installed 6.1 from scratch on
a spare V120.  That system seems to be working great.  I was going
to wait a few days and rebuild the first system to try and determine
if it has a hardware issue but I'll wait and submit a bug report first.

# installboot -n -v sd2
Using / as root
would install bootstrap on /dev/rsd2c
using first-stage /usr/mdec/bootblk, second-stage /usr/mdec/ofwboot
boot block is 5840 bytes (12 blocks @ 512 bytes = 6144 bytes)
sd2: softraid volume with 2 disk(s)
sd0d: installing boot blocks on /dev/rsd0c
would write boot block to disk /dev/rsd0c
sd1d: installing boot blocks on /dev/rsd1c
would write boot block to disk /dev/rsd1c

# ls -l /usr/mdec
total 428
-rw-r--r--  1 root  bin    5840 Apr  1 16:21 bootblk
-r--r--r--  1 root  bin  101048 Apr  1 16:21 ofwboot
-r--r--r--  1 root  bin   53608 Apr  1 16:21 ofwboot.net
-r--r--r--  1 root  bin   53320 Apr  1 16:21 ofwbootfd

Based on the timestamps, things seem to be in order.

Thanks!
