    nvalias simplify the device paths into the disk I modify the boot-device parameter, still get 'Can't locate boot device' when booting the vx-rootdisk pointing to the correct device path

    probe-scsi-all shows the drives in S1 with pci@8 but format only shows 2 drives with pci@9, which should be the 2 internal drives, so, format does not see the drives in S1
