I have an SS1+ with two internal Quantum 105's; I also have on order a
Fujitsu 2263SA. When I install the new disk I would like to make it the
system disk.

As I read the manuals, the "system disk" is by default sd0, so there are
(at least) two ways to shuffle things around. 1)The Hardware Route - get
into the pizza box and change the jumper on the current 0th disk from scsi
target 3 to target 2, and set new disk target to 3. 2) Software Route -
change the target declarations in the kernel and eeprom from the 31204567
order to 21304567, and set new disk target to 2.

Since I'm a novice at SunOS, I won't be surprised to hear that there's an
easier way to handle this. I will be grateful for any help.
