thought I'd add my two cents - I finally got my root-on-RAID1 (netra,
2x73GB SCSI disks) running. The guide at
http://www.linux.com/feature/52713 is pretty helpful, but there was
one fairly important bit missing having to do specifically with
sparc64 architecture ... unfortunately, I forgot to write it down, and
now I don't remember what it was. :( When/if I remember, I'll make
sure I send it on to the list (and probably add it to the docs at
http://darkuncle.net/openbsd/).
