Boot disk0

UNIX for Beginners Q & A
1

Good Morning,

I cloned a SunBlade Solaris 9 machine and have started it up, but it only comes up to the

ok>

prompt. I can

boot disk0

and it starts up as I expect into the login screen. How can I make this happen automatically like on the other machine?

At the ok prompt type:

printenv

and check the values of autoboot? , boot-command , boot-file and boot-device . The first and second should be true and boot respectively. You may need to change the fourth one to disk0 with the command:

setenv boot-device disk0

You may need to issue the following command to make it permanent:

reset-all

I got:

autoboot  false  true
 boot-command  boot  boot
 boot-file
 boot device  disk net   disk net

So I changed the

autoboot?

and I'm good to go..

Thanks!
