TABLE 11-1SunPCi III Command-Line Options

 

 

Option

Purpose

 

 

No option

When no option is used with the sunpci command, by default SunPCi III

 

 

opens the SunPCi menu.

-B

 

When used in conjunction with the sunpci -Cdisk.image file name and

 

 

-ccardname options, the -Boption binds the named cardname MAC

 

 

address to the disk.image file name by writing the cardname card’s MAC

 

 

address into the filename.ini file header. This action overwrites the

 

 

original MAC address in the file header. Formerly -bindmac.

 

 

A general form of the -Boption’s use is:

 

 

sunpci -Cdisk.image -ccardname -B

-b

 

Enables you to change the default depth of the boot time VGA window to

 

 

be either 8 bit or 24 bit by default. If you change to 24 bit, you avoid some

 

 

colormap flashing issues, while still allowing you to choose the 8-bit

 

 

option, unlike NO8BIT. Formerly -depth.

-C

disk.image

Starts the SunPCi III window using the disk.image file name as drive C:.

 

 

This overrides the default drive specified in the default properties file

 

 

/$HOME/pc/SunPC.ini.

-c

cardname

Starts the SunPCi III card using cardname as drive C:. The cardname is a

 

 

label assigned by the SunPCi III software starting with Card1, Card2, and

 

 

so on. To obtain a listing of installed card names use the -loption. For

 

 

more information about multiple card use, see “Using Multiple SunPCi III

 

 

Cards” on page 21.

-D

disk.image

Starts the SunPCi III window using the disk.image file name as drive D:.

 

 

This option overrides the default drive specified in the default properties

 

 

file /$HOME/pc/SunPC.ini.

-displayhostname.domain:0.0

Displays the SunPCi III window on another Sun system hostname in

 

 

domain. Formerly -display. For example, to open the SunPCi III window

 

 

on another system named willow in the eastern domain, type the

 

 

following command on your Sun system (where the SunPCi III card is

 

 

installed):

 

 

/opt/SUNWspci3/bin/sunpci -d willow.eastern:0.0

-f

 

Starts the card finder LED functionality in SunPCi III, which cycles

 

 

through the colors of the LED (green or amber) for several seconds.

-h

 

Displays SunPCi III command-line Help. The option displays a list of all

 

 

SunPCi III command-line options and formats. Formerly -help.
