<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>
<screen>Sun Blade 100 (UltraSPARC-IIe), Keyboard Present
Copyright 1998-2001 Sun Microsystems, Inc. All rights reserved.
OpenBoot 4.2, 128 MB memory installed, Serial #51090132.
Ethernet address 0:3:ba:b:92:d4, Host ID: 830b92d4.</screen>
<para>If your system proceeds to boot from disk at this point, you
need to press <keycombo
action="simul"><keycap>L1</keycap><keycap>A</keycap></keycombo>
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
like this:</para>
<screenco>
<areaspec>
<area id="prompt-single" coords="1 5">
<area id="prompt-smp" coords="2 5">
</areaspec>
<screen><prompt>ok </prompt>
<prompt>ok {0} </prompt></screen>
<calloutlist>
<callout arearefs="prompt-single">
<para>This is the prompt used on systems with just one
CPU.</para>
</callout>
<callout arearefs="prompt-smp">
<para>This is the prompt used on SMP systems, the digit
indicates the number of the active CPU.</para>
</callout>
</calloutlist>
</screenco>
<para>At this point, place the CDROM into your
drive, and from the PROM prompt, type <command>boot
cdrom</command>.</para>
