How to set the default boot device?

[InigoMontoya]

we are running a sunfire v880. When rebooting the server I've noticed that it double reboots. The first time it reboots looks like it's trying to find out what device to boot with then once it's determined that it wants to boot to "disk" it reboots again this time using the "disk" and finally it goes all the way through. Does anyone know how I can set the default book device so it doesn't have to do a second reboot? TIA.

Take it down to the [tt]ok[/tt] prompt and type the following...

    printenv boot-device

This will show you what the boot device is currently set to. If it doesn't say [tt]disk[/tt], type the following (also at the [tt]ok[/tt] prompt)...

    setenv boot-device disk
    reset

It should reboot at this point. See if it does the double reboot.

Hope this helps.
