How to boot from a failed mirror

This is in preparation for the day when the disk fails - I do not have a
failed disk at this time. What do I need to do to ensure that the computer
will boot from Disk1 if Disk0 fails? Do I have to create a boot floppy and
then edit the boot.ini file? What do I put in there?

Thanx,

You could use a boot file and do it that way, change the rdisk value to 1
and that should boot the shadow.
