What to Do

1. At the ok prompt, enter:

   ---

   ok show-devs
   

   ---

   The show-devs command lists the system devices. It displays the full path name of the hme device, similar to the example below:

   ---

   /pci@1f,4000/pci@5/SUNW,hme@0,1

   ---

2. Change the default net device. At the ok prompt, enter:

   ---

   ok nvalias net 
   hme_path
   ok nvstore
   

   ---

   where hme_path is the full path name of the hme device--in this example, /pci@1f,4000/pci@5/SUNW,hme@0,1.

3. Load and boot the operating system over the network interface. Enter either of the following commands:

   1. To load the operating system into the server's volatile memory, enter:

      ---

      ok boot net
      

      ---

      ---

      Note -

      Because the operating system is only in volatile memory, it is not retained across power cycles.

      ---

   2. To install the operating system onto the server's internal system hard drive, enter:

      ---

      ok boot net - install
      

      ---

      Both commands boot the system, and the system console displays the system prompt.
