To Select a Boot Device
▼
●
At the ok prompt, type:
ok setenv boot-device device-specifier
where the device-specifier is one of the following:
cdrom – Specifies the DVD drive
■
disk – Specifies the system boot disk (internal disk 0 by default)
■
disk0 – Specifies internal drive 0
■
disk1 – Specifies internal drive 1
■
disk2 – Specifies internal drive 2
■
disk3 – Specifies internal drive 3
■
net, net0, net1, net2, net3 – Specifies the network interfaces
■
full path name – Specifies the device or network interface by its full path name
■
Note – The Solaris OS modifies the boot-device variable to its full path name, not
the alias name. If you choose a nondefault boot-device variable, the Solaris OS
specifies the full device path of the boot device.
Note – You can specify the name of the program to be booted as well as the way the
boot program operates. For more information, refer to the OpenBoot 4.x Command
Reference Manual in the OpenBoot Collection AnswerBook for your specific Solaris OS
release.
If you want to specify a network interface other than an on-board Ethernet interface
as the default boot device, you can determine the full path name of each interface by
typing either of the following commands:
ok show-devs
ok show-nets
The show-devs command lists the system devices and displays the full path name
of each PCI device.
