Detailed Soalris startup sequence - looking for descr. 2

[neuralnode]

Hi everyone,

I've been looking for a really DETAILED description of Solaris startup sequence, including kernel access, order of mounting filesystems, drivers for metadevices etc. I haven't found many satisfactory docs yet. Do you by any chance know where I can find such documentation?

I'm interested not just in general overview, but also solid low-level explanation what is happening after system start, where and what is searched, what's the role of OBP, what fs locks are done, how metadbs are read etc.

Any relevant links will be highly appreciated!

Thanx in advance & rgds.
