Support for Specifying Platform by Using bootadm Command

Solaris Express Community Edition, build 87: A new -p option has been added to the bootadm command.

This option enables you to specify the platform or machine hardware class of a client system in situations where the client platform differs from the server platform, for example when administering diskless clients.

The -p option must be used with the -R option.

# bootadm -p platform -R [altroot]

The specified platform must be one of the following:

• i86pc

• sun4u

• sun4v

For more information, see the bootadm(1M) man page.
