<title>Booting for &sparc64;</title>
|

|

<para>Most sparc64 systems are set up to boot automatically from
|
||||
disk. To install &os;, you need to boot over the network or
|
||||
from a CDROM, which requires you to break into the PROM
|
||||
(OpenFirmware).</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>To do this, reboot the system, and wait until the boot
|
||||
message appears. It depends on the model, but should look about
|
||||
like:</para>

<para>If your system proceeds to boot from disk at this point, you

or <keycombo

action="simul"><keycap>Stop</keycap><keycap>A</keycap></keycombo>
|

on the keyboard, or send a <command>BREAK</command> over the
|

serial console (using for example <command>~#</command> in
|

&man.tip.1; or &man.cu.1;) to get to the PROM prompt. It looks
