Optional Boot Parameters
Table 13: Boot Parameters
Parameter Description
<device−specifier> Name (full path or alias) of the boot device. Typical values are
cdrom, disk, floppy, net or tape.
<filename> Name of program to be booted
The filename parameter is relative to the root of the selected

Bootoption may be one of the following:a
−a: Prompts interactively for device and name of boot file
−h: Halts after loading program
−r: Reconfigures Solaris device drivers after changing
hardware configuration
−v: Prints verbose information during boot procedure
