*How to Boot a SPARC Based System From the Network
1.Become the root role.
2.If necessary, bring the system to the ok PROM prompt.
# init 0
3.Boot the system from the network without using the ”install ”flag.
ok boot net:dhcp
Note – If you have changed the PROM setting to boot with DHCP by default, you only have to
