perform the following tasks:

1. At the

ok

prompt type:

ok show-devs

The

show-devs

command lists the system devices. You should see the full path

name of the

qfe

devices, similar to the example below:

/pci@1f,2000/pci@2/SUNW,qfe@0,1

/pci@1f,2000/pci@2/SUNW,qfe@1,1
/pci@1f,2000/pci@2/SUNW,qfe@2,1
/pci@1f,2000/pci@2/SUNW,qfe@3,1

Note -

You need to select only one of these

qfe

devices for booting.

2. At the

ok

prompt type:

ok boot

(full path name of the

qfe

device)
