OpenBoot Configuration Variables on the SCC

OpenBoot Configuration Variables Stored on the System Configuration Card   describes the OpenBoot firmware configuration variables stored in non-volatile memory on the system. The OpenBoot configuration variables are printed here in the order in which they appear when you type the following command:

ok printenv
