Selecting a Boot Device
The boot device is specified by the setting of an OpenBoot configuration variable
called boot-device. The default setting of this variable is disk net. Because of
this setting, the firmware first attempts to boot from the system hard drive, and if
that fails, from the on-board NET0 Gigabit Ethernet interface.
This procedure assumes that you are familiar with the OpenBoot firmware and that
you know how to enter the OpenBoot environment. If you want to boot from a
networked device, you must connect the network interface to the network.

■ disk2 – Specifies internal drive 2.

■ net, net0, net1, net2, net3 – Specifies the network interfaces.
■ full path name – Specifies the device or network interface by its full path name.
