3. Create an alias name for the Sun XVR-1200 device:
This step is optional for all systems. Creating the alias, however, will simplify future
OpenBoot PROM commands.
a. Use
nvalias
to name the Sun XVR-1200 graphics accelerator device.
This example uses
mydev
as the device.
Complete the line entry by pressing Control-Y on your keyboard (that is, press
and hold Control and press the Y key) and then Return. The output displays as:
b. Verify the alias.
In the above output, both
mydev
and
screen
are mapped to
/pci@8,700000/SUNW,XVR-1200@1
and are therefore interchangeable alias
names.
In this procedure example, you can now refer to
mydev
as the Sun XVR-1200
graphics accelerator device, as shown in the next step.
4. Set the selected device to be the default console display.
For example,
Without Step 3 (creating an alias name), you will need to type the entire device name
precisely. In this example, you would need to enter the following:
ok nvalias mydev
(Control-Y)
ok nvalias mydev /pci@8,700000/SUNW,XVR-1200@10
ok devalias
mydev /pci@8,700000/SUNW,XVR-1200@1
screen /pci@8,700000/SUNW,XVR-1200@1
mouse /pci@9,700000/usb@1,3/mouse@2
keyboard /pci@9,700000/usb@1,3/keyboard@1
....
ok setenv output-device mydev
output-device = mydev
ok setenv output-device /pci@8,700000/SUNW,XVR-1200@1
output-device = /pci@8,700000/SUNW,XVR-1200@1
