Selecting a Boot Device

This section provides instructions on selecting a boot device.
Selecting a Boot Device
The boot device is specified by the setting of an OpenBoot configuration variable
called boot-device. The default setting of this variable is disk net. Because of this
setting, the firmware first attempts to boot from the system hard drive, and if that
fails, from the on-board NET0 Gigabit Ethernet interface.
This procedure assumes that you are familiar with the OpenBoot firmware and that
you know how to enter the OpenBoot environment. For more information, see the
SPARC Enterprise T5440 Server Administration Guide.
Note – The serial management port is preconfigured as the default system console
port. For more information, see the SPARC Enterprise T5440 Server Overview Guide.
If you want to boot from a network, you must connect the network interface to the
network.
