Sun Microsystems 220R manual Change the default net device. At the ok prompt, type, What Next

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

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:

a. To load the operating system into the server’s volatile memory, type:

ok boot net

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

b. To install the operating system onto the server’s internal system disk drive, type:

ok boot net - install

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

What Next

If you want to use this Ethernet interface as the default boot device, you must permanently change the value of the boot-deviceparameter. For more information, see:
