[SunHELP] Solaris 9 network install..

[Ryan Loiselle]

Hello all,

Well I seem to have things somewhat ironed out... I have finnished the
install once, then botched things up (twas 3am, and i was tired).

----------------------
Installing boot information
        - Installing boot blocks (c0t1d0s0)
        - Updating system firmware for automatic rebooting

        - /var/sadm/system/logs/install_log (after reboot)

Installation complete

WARNING: CHANGE DEFAULT BOOT DEVICE
         If you want the system to always reboot Solaris from
         the boot device that you've specified (c0t1d0s0),
         you must change the system's default boot device using
         the eeprom(1M) command after installing Solaris software.
Executing SolStart postinstall phase...

The finish script log 'finish.log'

----------------------------

I didnt use the eeprom command befor I rebooted by accident (as the
WARNING clearly states), and when the machine rebooted, it attempted to do the network install once again,
which i aborted.

Now I know that as a result of  the first successful install, the OS
should be installed on the disk, my questions is how do i change boot
device from the bootprom?

I am thinking that I would use the:

setenv boot-device=disk:a disk net

when the present value is:

boot-device=disk net

Should I also set the:

diag-device=disk net

when its present value is:

diag-device=net

well that should be about it... worst thing that can happen is having to
reinstall from scratch... now that things are working, thats not a huge
problem..

Thanks!
