What to Do

1. At the ok prompt, enter:

   ---

   ok setenv boot-device 
   device-specifier
   

   ---

   where the device-specifier is one of the following:

   • cdrom - Selects the CD-ROM drive

   • disk - Selects the hard disk

   • floppy - Selects the 3.5-inch diskette drive

   • tape - Selects the SCSI tape drive

   • net - Selects the Ethernet interface on the main logic board

   • full path name - Selects the Ethernet interface specified by the path name

   ---

   Note -

   You can also specify the name of the program to be booted as well as the 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
   

   ---

   ---

   Note -

   You can also power cycle the system using the front panel keyswitch.
