	>> boot dksc(0,2)unix root=dks0d2s0 initstate=s
	... (system boots to single user)
	# mount -c /dev/dsk/dks0d2s6 /usr
	# multi

Will do the job.  For long term situations, do this instead of the
mount:

	# cd /dev; ./MAKEDEV disklinks
	# mount -c /usr # (should mount the 2nd disk as /usr)
	# devnm /usr # (should print ... dks0d2s6
	# /etc/autoconfig -f # rebuild kernel to use drive 2 as root disk
	# mv /unix.install /unix
	# reboot

| Where do I find full (user) documentation of the PROM monitor? Where do I find

All the documentation that there is, is in 'man prom', with a very
small amount in the Installation Guide (or release notes, for hardware
newer than the Installation Guide).
