2. Change the default net device. At the ok prompt, enter:
ok nvalias net hme_path
ok nvstore
where hme_path is the full path name of the hme device—in this example,
/pci@1f,4000/pci@5/SUNW,hme@0,1.
3. Load and boot the operating system over the network interface. Enter either of
the following commands:
a. To load the operating system into the server's volatile memory, enter:
ok boot net
Note – Because the operating system is only in volatile memory, it is not retained
across power cycles.
b. To install the operating system onto the server's internal system hard drive,
enter:
ok boot net - install
Both commands boot the system, and the system console displays the system
prompt.
