Document support for booting from RAID 1C on sparc64
The bootloader (ofwboot) got support some time ago, but installboot(8) had to be fixed as well for multi-chunk volumes (1C requires at least two). As of today, the latest sparc64 install72.img can perform a default install onto a passphrase-protected 1C volume across four chunk disks, resulting in a bootable system without requiring manual invervention, just like amd64.
