about to take place, it is very possible that the customized values
in the configuration variables will revert to their *default

Following is a list of the system's NVRAM configuration variables
which have been customized (i.e. they are different than the
default values).
You may wish to write down the values of the indicated
configuration variables so that they may be restored (if necessary)

Default: true
Current: false
Name: boot-file
Default: <null>
Current: kadb -d

which NVRAM configuration variables will need to be changed from their default
values after the flash PROM update.
If the keyswitch is set to the locked position, you will see the following error

6. Make the flash PROM write-enabled by turning the keyswitch to the On or
Diagnostics position then type reboot at the # prompt
