Type menu item number and press Enter or select Navigation key:
In this example the OF device name is /pci@800000020000002/pci@2,2/ethernet@1. This
procedure is ONLY to get the OF device name. Do not select to boot from this device. You must
enter this device name manually (or use an alias) at the OF prompt.
2. Initiate OpenFirmware (OF) by pressing F8 (graphical display) or the “8” key (ASCII terminal)
when the system configuration icons or messages begin to appear on the screen. After the system
configuration completes, the OpenFirmware prompt will appear
3. From the OF prompt, enter the following line to boot from the network adapter.
ok> boot network_adapter_device_name console=tty0 load_ramdisk=1
init=/init ramdisk_size=65536 rw selinux=0 devfs=nomount
raid=noautodetect
a. For the network_adapter_device_name, use the OpenFirmware (OF) device name of the
network adapter you wish to boot from.
You may also use a device alias for network_adapter_device_name. To determine if an alias
is already set up for your device type:
ok> devalias
To create a device alias called “network” using the OF device name obtained from SMS type:
ok> devalias network network_adapter_device_name
To create a device alias that is retained across reboots, you should use the nvalias command:
ok> nvalias network network_adapter_device_name
You can then use the “network” alias you created in place of the
network_adapter_device_name in the command above.
b. For the console option, use tty0 for a display attached to a graphics adapter, or ttyS0 for a
directly attached serial (ASCII) terminal. If installing onto an LPAR system, use hvc0 (virtual
console).
c. The selinux option is needed only on systems with Security Enhanced Linux support, but will
be ignored otherwise.
d. The devfs option is needed only on systems with DEVFS support, but will be ignored
otherwise.
