Thanks to those who responded to my query yesterday. I ended up calling
Sun support and learned that they don't support the Maxtor 540SL as an
internal boot disk -- the only Maxtor disks they support as internal boot
devices are the LXT 213SY and the XT 760S.
Oh well -- guess we'll find some other uses for those disks.
