[SunHELP] Re: Sending break sequence from minicom/Linux (Mahantesh)

[Martijn van Breugel]

Use the following combination while the machine is rebooting: CTRL+Break
This will get you to the OBP-prompt (ok-prompt)

Or else use the command: # boot -r -s

This will reboot the machine in single-user mode
