Standard Configuration Variables

This section provides a list of the configuration variables that are typically included in SPARC systems.


Note -  Different OpenBoot implementations might use different defaults or provide different configuration variables. Use the OpenBoot printenv command to display the variables on your virtual machine. See Display the Current Variable Settings.

The value of a configuration variable can be a number, a string, a true or false flag, a selection from a set of choices, or one of several other data types, depending on the particular variable. The stack comment shows the way that information is presented on the FORTH stack.
