The secondary drive was scsi id 1, switched it to 0 (which the primary drive was). Is there any way to boot off of it or did breaking the mirror dump all the contents of the drive?

With mirror, the second drive is an exact copy of the first. You should be able to boot it just fine. I don't think you even need to change the scsi ID.

Yeah that's exactly what I thought. Apparently the primary partition got corrupted because I couldn't do anything with it. Ended up working for 18 hours yesterday :( Everything's working now, but man, what a headache.
