SPARC system to boot the system to the single-user milestone?

A.
from the ok prompt, issue this command:
boot -m milestone=single-user

B.
From the ok prompt, issue this command:
boot -m milestone/single-user

C.
From the ok prompt, issue this command:
boot -milestone=single-user

D.
From the ok prompt. issue this command:
boot -s

E.
From from the ok prompt, issue this command:
boot -m milestone=s

Explanation:
By default, Solaris will boot to the pseudo milestone “all” and start all services. This
behaviour can be changed at boot time using either “-s” to reach single-user, or the new SMF
option “-m milestone=XXX” (see kernel(1M) for a list of the bootable milestones) to select an
explicit milestone.
Note: boot -s is the same as: boot -m milestone=single-user
with the difference being that the former is a lot less to type and is what most SysAdmins will be
familiar with.

man kernel
-m smf_options

The smf_options include two categories of options to
control booting behavior of the service management
facility: recovery options and messages options.

Message options determine the type and amount of mes-
sages that smf(5) displays during boot. Service options
determine the services which are used to boot the sys-
tem.

Recovery options

debug

Prints standard per-service output and all
svc.startd messages to log.

milestone=[milestone]

Boot with some SMF services temporarily disabled, as
indicated by milestone. milestone can be “none”,
“single-user”, “multi-user”, “multi-user-server”, or
“all”. See the milestone subcommand of svcadm(1M).
