[SunRescue] boot prom value for booting from drive id=0 on SS5

[Loomis, Rip]

Bob--
It depends on what aliases are set in the
EEPROM.  To check those, you can use the
devalias command at the OpenBoot PROM prompt.

Usually, to boot disk 0, one or more of
the following should work:
  boot disk
  boot disk0
  boot disk3

The last one is because ID=3 is "disk 0" on
many Suns due to...well some reason lost in
the dawn of time.

There's a detailed explanation of changing
boot device paths at:
