FIGURE 3-2The Network Interfaces Listed by the B200x BIOS

The names that the BIOS uses to identify each network interface correspond with the names used by the System Controller’s bootmode command (see Section 10.10, “Installing Solaris x86 Onto a Blade by Using the Second, Third, or Fourth Network Interface” in the Sun Fire B100x and B200x Server Blade Installation and Setup Guide).

If the blade is booted without the bootpath property having been set in /boot/solaris/bootenv.rc, the Solaris Device Configuration Assistant (DCA) pauses to request the boot device and display the network devices as shown in FIGURE 3-3.
