applied, this section tells you what you need to type to boot from the CD-ROM drive
you are using.

Patch 108673-01: Setting Environment Variables
Note –
If you have patch 108673-01 applied, you do not need to set any
environment variables. Note that the Netra t1 now ships with this patch already
applied. You only need to follow the instructions below if you do not have patch
108673-01 applied to the operating system.
Patch 108673-01 contains a version of the Sun OpenBoot
TM
PROM (OBP) software
specifically for the Netra t1. It is required because the default parameter settings in
versions of the OBP software used on other Sun platforms are not correct for the
Netra t1.
This means that, if you do not have patch 108673-01 applied, you must set certain
OBP parameters manually for the Netra t1. It also means that, if you use the
set-defaults
command after setting these parameters manually, you must set
them manually again. (The
set-defaults
command returns the OBP parameters to
their defaults. Unless you have patch 108673-01 applied, these defaults will not be
correct for the Netra t1.)
The OBP parameters are stored in NVRAM on the motherboard. To make sure they
are correct for a Netra t1 system that does not have patch 108673-01 applied, do the
following:
1.
Return the OBP parameters to their standard settings by typing:
ok boot cdrom
ok boot cdrom1
ok set-defaults
