8. At the ok prompt, boot the client system using the full device path of the Gigabit
Ethernet device.
The following examples show the options available:
Booting in autonegotiated mode:
ok boot:link-param, -v
Booting in autonegotiated verbose mode at 1000 Mbps half-duplex:
ok
boot /pci@1f,4000/network@4:speed=1000,duplex=half,link-clock=auto
Note –
For this configuration, the highest capability is limited to 1000 Mbps half-duplex
and the lowest is 10 Mbps half-duplex. The link is established within this range of
capabilities, depending on the configuration of the link partner.
Booting in non-autonegotiated verbose mode at 100 Mbps full-duplex:
ok boot /pci@1f,4000/network@4:speed=100,duplex=full, -v
Booting in non-autonegotiated verbose mode at 1000 Mbps half-duplex link-clock
master:
ok boot /pci@1f,4000/network@4:speed=1000,duplex=half,link-clock=master
Note – For a link to be successfully established, the link partner must be configured
to 1000 Mbps half-duplex link-clock slave.
9. Proceed with the Solaris Operating System installation.
Refer to the Solaris Advanced Installation Guide for more information about installing
