Booting from a CD-ROM Drive

You can use a CD-ROM drive connected to the SunSwift PCI adapter SCSI interface
at target id 6 as the boot device for Solaris 2.5.1 systems.

To Boot from a CD-ROM Drive

1. At the ok prompt, type:
ok show-devs
The show-devs command lists the system devices. You should see the full path
name of the SCSI CD-ROM device, similar to the example below:
/pci@1f,4000/pci@2/SUNW,isptwo@4/sd
Note – The above example is from a Sun Ultra 30 Series system. On other Sun PCI
systems, the leading portion of the device path could be different. Refer to the
system's installation or service manual for more information.
2. Type:
ok boot /pci@1f,4000/pci@2/SUNW,isptwo@4/sd@6,0:f
The above command should start booting the system from the CD-ROM media
loaded in the CD-ROM drive.
