USING NVEDIT TO MODIFY

NVRAM

B.1 NVRAM Edit Commands


This section discusses the use of NVRAM. The NVRAM is used
for setting resolution in the Video-Mode and Video-Timing
methods. To edit the NVRAM, type nvedit at the ok prompt.
There are several commands that you must use to edit the
variables in NVRAM:

deletes the character preceding the cursor

lists NVRAM current values

moves to the previous line

moves to the next line

moves to the previous character

moves to the next character

deletes to the beginning of the line

joins the current and next line

deletes the current line

exits the NVRAM editor (back to the ok
prompt)


The changes will only take effect if they are stored using the
nvstore

command entered at the ok prompt. Once the

changes are stored, the NVRAM must be enabled before the
system will execute it. This is done by setting the environment
variable use-nvramrc? to true. Type reset to reboot the
system and make the changes effective.
