Bob,

	SVM doesn't modify the underlying partition table in the way that VxVM 
does, so there is no encapsulation / unencapsulation involved.

	To stop using an SVM boot mirror and revert back to the underlying disk 
devices you just use "metaroot {disk device}" and then edit any other 
entries in /etc/vfstab for the other filesystems on that disk.

James.
