[SunHELP] A Doubt - Help Pls

[Jarrett Carver]

It is done exactly as you are saying. You load the OS onto the drive you 
want. Make sure your NVRAM is not set to auto-boot, otherwise you will have 
to stop-A, since it will always try to boot the default. Make a devalias for 
solaris7 and solaris26 if you don't have them already. Then simply:

OK boot solaris7
     or
OK boot solaris26

Check out http://www.sun.com/software/linux/docs/dual_boot.html, although it 
is talking about dual booting linux & solaris, it's basically the same 
concept.

Hi Admins,
            Suppose a SS5 has 2 disks can I have different OS versions
residing on them and can I boot from them depending on which version of OS I
want?. Suppose default boot disk has Solaris 7 and other disk has Solaris
2.6 will I be able to get Solaris 2.6 up from second disk?.

For this I think from OK prompt I should give boot and the disk identifier.
How exactly is this done. Pls help me in clarifying this doubt.

Thanks,
Balaji
