Hi ,

Am new to solaris can anyone tell me what is the use of setting the eeprom variable to true or false ...

2

Which one ?

3

autoboot variable

"man grub" will tell you:

     auto-boot?

         If true, boots automatically after  power-on  or  reset.
         Defaults  to  true. On x86, this parameter is controlled
         by the grub menu file. See installgrub(1M).

In case of sparc system, if autoboot is not set to true then system will go to OK prompt from there you have to write boot, if autoboot is set to true system will automatically load then OS. You can change these variables from Solaris with the help of eeprom command or you can change then on OK prompt also with the help of set <variable name> value.
