[SunHELP] problem booting up

[ChrisBotha at CTNDDN]

Hi,

At the "ok" prompt, type printenv.  Look at your boot-device entry.  Yours
will most probably point to the net.  You need to change this sequence to
use the disk first.

It should look something like this:

setenv boot-device disk

Regards
Chris

Hi,

Whenever I power on my Sun E420R box, it defaults to network booting. I've
used the key combinations as mentioned in the 420R manual, but none
referred me to the "ok" prompt.

Is there any method which I can use to reset the PROM, so as to allow
CDROM booting?

TIA.

Regards,
