10.1 Obtaining the ok Prompt
When a Sun Ultra 45 or Ultra 25 workstation is put into run level state 0, the ok
prompt is displayed. At the ok prompt, you can make changes to the NVRAM and
conduct OpenBoot PROM tests (POST and OpenBoot Diagnostics).
TABLE 10-1 lists
methods for obtaining the ok prompt, listed from most preferred to least desirable.
Caution – The Stop-A key sequence causes a system abort which loses the system
state and might corrupt file systems. Method 1 is the preferred procedure.
