auto-boot

Home: www.packetnexus.com

Fo the LAN card, if you do have the right driver, it should be seen after a
simple "boot -r". Sometimes, one's must add some packages (i.e. for X25
cards).
To be check that the hardware see this device, follow these steps :
# init 0  -> goes to obp (open boot prom)
and gives you this prompt :
ok
enter the following :
ok setenv auto-boot? false
ok reset  (the wait a while)
ok watch-net-all

Then your LAN card should be seen... If not, you might need a driver on
Solaris
to handle it...

then, to get everything as before :
ok setenv auto-boot? true
ok boot -r

As far as I know, there's no way to make a tape bootable on Solaris. May be
on
next release (feb 2002).
