SPARC: How to Determine the Default Boot Device

1. Bring the system to the ok PROM prompt.

   For more information, see How to Shut Down a Stand-Alone System.

2. Use the printenv command to determine the default boot device.

   ok printenv boot-device

   boot-device

   Identifies the parameter for setting the device from which to boot.

   device[n]

   Identifies the boot-device value such as a disk or the network. The n can be specified as the disk number.

   The default boot-device is displayed in a format that is similar to the following:

   boot-device = /pci@1f,4000/scsi@3/disk@1,0:a

   If the default boot-device is a network boot device, the output is similar to the following:

   boot-device = /sbus@1f,0/SUNW,fas@e,8800000/sd@a,0:a \
   /sbus@1f,0/SUNW,fas@e,8800000/sd@0,0:a disk net
