In Example 4–24 the nvram script is edited so that an environment variable called
"mop3_boot" is created and set to 1 on each power-up. By default, MOP boots send
four MOP V4 requests before defaulting to MOP V3. This user-created environment
variable forces the SRM console to bypass MOP V4 requests. This speeds up MOP
booting on networks with MOP V3 software.
