Editing the Nvram Script
You can create an nvram script to include any commands you want the system
to execute at power-up.
You create and edit the nvram script using the SRM edit command. With
edit, lines may be added, overwritten, or deleted.
The syntax is:
edit file
file is the name of the file to be edited.
The editing commands are:
Displays the brief help file.
help
list Lists the current file prefixed with line numbers.
Renumbers the lines of the file in increments of 10.
renumber
exit Leaves the editor and closes the file, saving all changes.
quit Leaves the editor and closes the file without saving changes.
nn Deletes line number nn.
nn text Adds or overwrites line number nn with text.
NOTE: It is possible to disable the system by editing the nvram script. For example, if you
include the initialize command in the script, the system will go into an endless loop. To
fix this, press the Halt button while the system is powering up. You can then edit the
script to delete the offending command.
