SCSA10-1 Objective 3.3 - Execute basic boot PROM commands for a SPARC system
Execute basic boot PROM commands for a SPARC system.
A previous objective described the boot PROM and its use. The boot PROM has a ton of commands including a Forth language interpreter in case you want to write a little boot PROM program (although you probably won’t want to). Here are some essential boot PROM commands:
help
.version - display version of boot PROM
boot
printenv/setenv
devalias
reset-all - power cycle the system
power-off - turn off system power
input/output
diagnostic commands
An extensive reference for boot PROM commands is generously provided by Sun.
