1.2 Boot Environment Variables
The most useful predefined environment variables for booting Linux are
bootdef_dev, boot_file, and boot_osflags, and auto_action, all of which are
cold non-volatile (they are saved across reboots). To set environment variables,
use the set command, like this:
>>> set bootdef_dev dka0
The boot environment variables have the following functions:
Environment Variable Function
bootdef_dev
Specifies the device that will be booted from if no
device is specified on the boot command line or in an
automatic boot.
boot_file
Specifies a default file name to be used for booting
when no file name is specified by the boot command.
boot_osflags
Defines parameters to enable specific functions
during the boot process.
auto_action
Specifies the action the console should take on
power-up. By default, it is set to halt, meaning that
the machine will start up in the SRM console. Once
you have configured your bootloader and the boot-
related variables, you can set it to boot in order to
boot automatically on power-up.
