[SunHELP] OpenBoot Parameters

[Fletcher, Joe]

watchdog-reboot will atempt to restart the system in the event of a
watchdog-reset. However since a watchdog reset is indicative of something
being drastically wrong you probably either don't want the machine to
restart or there's a good chance that it won't be able to anyway.
If set you will quite likely end up in a crash-reboot loop.

auto-boot? defines action after power-on or normal reset.

Hi Admins,
          Wanted to know the difference between the parameters
auto-boot? and watchdog-reboot. The auto-boot? parameter I believe will
reboot the system when it hits some panic state instead of just crashing and
waiting for boot command at OK> prompt. What does the watchdog-reboot
parameter do?.

Any ideas?. Pls do correct me if I have understood the auto-boot? parameter
wrong.

Thanks,
Balaji
