attempts to boot from the system hard drive, and if that fails, then from the main
logic board 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 about the
OpenBoot firmware, see OpenBoot 3.x Command Reference Manual in the Solaris
System Administrator AnswerBook for your specific Solaris release.
What to Do
1. At the ok prompt, enter:
ok setenv boot-device
device-specifier
where the device-specifier is one of the following:
4 cdrom – Selects the CD-ROM drive
4 disk – Selects the hard disk
4 floppy – Selects the 3.5-inch diskette drive
4 tape – Selects the SCSI tape drive
4 net – Selects the Ethernet interface on the main logic board
4 full path name – Selects the Ethernet interface specified by the path name
Note -
way the boot program operates. For more information, see OpenBoot 3.x
Command Reference Manual in the Solaris System Administrator AnswerBook for
your specific Solaris release.
If you want to select a network interface other than the system board Ethernet
interface as the default boot device, you can determine the full path name of each
interface, by entering:
ok show-devs
The show-devs command lists the system devices. It displays the full path name
of each PCI device. An example of a path name is shown below:
/pci@1f,4000/pci@5/SUNW,hme@0,1
2. To reboot the system from the new boot device, enter:
ok reset
