That didn't work. My RaidFrame Set consists of sd0 and sd1. It looks
like the boot block in sd1a wasn't properly initialized. I did some
digging on Google and found a post that provided a solution for sparc
but not sparc64 so I did this:

     # dd if=/dev/rsd0a bs=512 count=64 | hexdump > /tmp/boot-sd0.hex
     # dd if=/dev/rsd1a bs=512 count=64 | hexdump > /tmp/boot-sd1.hex
     # diff -u /tmp/boot-sd0.hex /tmp/boot-sd1.hex

And came up with difference. My solution was to do this:

     # shutdown now
     # umount -a
     # dd if=/dev/rsd0c of=/dev/rsd1c bs=512 count=64

To replace the boot block on sd1 with the boot block from sd0
