the disks in this machine are configured as c1t0d0 c1t0d1.I'm wondering
how can you change the controller from c1 to c0

the internal uata controller is c0.

But maybe one can trick the system into assigning it c1 by swapping the
relevant lines in /etc/path_to_inst. I have never done that and wouldn't
like to try it myself, but you are of course free to crash your own
system...

Would be interesting to know if it worked ;-)

i guess the disks are c1t0d0 & c1t1d0 ?
the cd/dvd is using c0...
you can boot from cd or net
mount the c1 root disk to ex. /mnt
change all /mnt/dev/dsk.. /mnt/dev/rdsk/c1.. to c0..
remove /mnt/dev/cfg/0, move /mnt/dev/cfg/1 to 0
umount /dev/dsk/c1...
halt
ok. show-disks
select youre boot dev
ok. nvalias disk <ctrl-y>
ok. setenv boot-device disk
ok. boot -r
i have not tried this a i type, so be careful.

there is no problem using c1 as boot device.
i suggest you keep the current configuration
c1 as hard disks, c0 as cd/dvd.

oh, just forgot you must change /etc/vfstab to reflect changes.
