You can blame me for that.  On the -RELEASE, not all machines were
probing the second gem device.  So, I fixed this, but since we do
our own enumeration of PCI (tmm has patches to use OFW), your port 1
is now being probed before port 0 causing the switch.

My fault for not posting a heads up to -sparc64 about that.

sunlabel is your friend.  on Sparc64, fdisk is not useful (only on x86
similar systems), and disklabel has been removed in preference to bsdlabel
and sunlabel.

I can't address your other issues, maybe someone else can?
