Use the shutdown command to display the OpenBoot (ok) prompt.

#shutdown -i0 -g0 -y

. . .

(shutdown command messages omitted)

. . .

ok

7.At the ok prompt, use the show-netscommand to find the device path of the

GigaSwift Ethernet device.

The show-netscommand lists the system devices. You should see the full path name of the network device, similar to the example below. In this example, the network@4 device is the Sun GigaSwift Ethernet adapter.

ok show-nets

a)/pci@1f,2000/pci@1/network@4

b)/pci@1f,4000/network@1,1

q) NO SELECTION

Enter Selection, q to quit: q

8.At the ok prompt, boot the client system using the full device path of the Gigabit

Ethernet device. For example:

ok boot /pci@1f,2000/pci@1/network@4

9.Proceed with the Solaris operating environment installation.

Refer to the Solaris Advanced Installation Guide for more information about installing the Solaris operating environment over the network.
