Note – You should have an alias (usually net) in OBP for the proper network
interface. Use that alias with the boot(1M) command, as shown in the example
above. Otherwise, you must type in the complete OBP device path. If you specify an
alias (or path) that does not describe the proper network interface, the boot(1M)
command will fail.
In the netcon(1M) window, boot the system from the network.
ok boot net
The boot net command starts the suninstall utility. This utility prompts you to

platform-specific information you may need to supply. If you have questions about
