Solaris 10 on x86: Problems booting off mirror disk
SQ
It boots fine off primary disk but having issues booting off mirror
disk.
I get this error:
Booting 'Solaris 10 ... Mirror disk'
root (hd1,0,a)
Error 22: No such partition
Press any key to continue...
Any idea what's going on? I followed this procedure:

It is in the man pages for mirroring.

Yes, I did the following:
#: ll /dev/dsk/${MIR_DISK}s0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 59 Sep 17 2008 /dev/dsk/
c1t1d0s0 -> ../../devices/pci@0,0/pci10de,376@a/pci1000,3150@0/
sd@1,0:a
echo eeprom altbootpath=/pci@0,0/pci10de,376@a/pci1000,3150@0/
sd@1,0:a
#: eeprom | grep -i bootpath
bootpath=/pci@0,0/pci10de,376@a/pci1000,3150@0/sd@0,0:a
altbootpath=/pci@0,0/pci10de,376@a/pci1000,3150@0/sd@1,0:a
# /sbin/installgrub -m /boot/grub/stage1 /boot/grub/stage2 /dev/rdsk/$
{MIR_DISK}2
That seems to have fixed the problem and I can now boot off mirror
disk.
Now the weird thing is, no matter which disk I boot off, I always get
the same df output.
Shouldn't I get d2 if I booted off mirror? I always get d1, which
makes me think something
is not going right.

Things are right, just need to understand what is happening. You are also
mirroring some of that disk.
