NVRAM Boot Parameters

The OpenBoot firmware holds configuration parameters in NVRAM. At the Forth Monitor
prompt, type printenv to see a list of all available configuration parameters. The OpenBoot
command setenv may be used to set these parameters.

setenv [configuration parameter] [value]

This information refers only to those configuration parameters which are involved in the boot
process. The following table lists these parameters.

When booting an operating system or another stand-alone program, and neither a boot device
nor a filename is supplied, the boot command of the Forth Monitor takes the omitted values
form the NVRAM configuration parameters. If the parameter diag-switch? is false, boot-device
and boot-file are used. Otherwise, the OpenBoot firmware uses diag-device and diag-file for
booting.

For a detailed description of all NVRAM configuration parameters, please refer to the OPEN
BOOT PROM 2.0 MANUAL SET.
