2-6 SPARCstation 5 Model 110 Service Manual • November 1996
If the auto-boot? parameter is set to true (the default), the system boots a
standalone program. To determine which program and device to boot from, the
system checks the diag-switch? NVRAM parameter.
TABLE 2-2 summarizes the
effect of the auto-boot? and diag-switch? parameters.
Once the Solaris 2.4 operating system or earlier is running, you can invoke the
SunDiag™ System Exerciser if further diagnostic testing is warranted.
Once the Solaris 2.5 operating system or later is running, you can invoke SunVTS for
additional diagnostic tests. For further information see the SunVTS User’s Guide.
To boot user-specified programs you must be at the > prompt or the ok prompt. See
Appendix D for a detailed procedure on how to access the > or the ok prompt.
