boot disk for 3130

The disk which came with my system (which has /, /usr and the swap area)
seems to be going a bit flaky, so I copied / to my second disk.
I tried to boot from this disk from the prom by typing
	b si.1a:
and while it indicated that it was reading defaultboot from si.1a,
it checked and mounted the file systems in the si0a version
of /etc/fstab and not the ones in the si1a version.

Is it possible to boot from the second disk on the controller,
or do I have to go inside and bugger with the device addresses?
My FM's don't seem to discuss this sort of scenerio.

Thanks.
