I think yes I can do a boot cdrom -s and configure network interface (maybe using ifconfig bge0 dhcp) and then download it to /a .. The reason why I want to do this is that we have no OS installed on the system and we wanted to upgrade OBP
Thanks for all the answers. My system is a v210/v240. Dale Ghent told that (in the previous email of this thread) we can update using SC/ALOM. I have found out an article depicts how to update flash using network http://www.smtps.net/netboot_flash_obp.html I think PROM flash update is the following file right? bash-3.00# pwd /var/tmp/121683-05 bash-3.00# ls -1 802-3233-25.ps 817-6957-10.pdf copyright flash-update-SunFire240 <!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ????? Install.info LEGAL_LICENSE.TXT README.121683-05 unix.flash-update.README unix.flash-update.SunFire240.sh I mean if I had a Solaris installed on the system I can use unix.flash-update.SunFire240.sh but If I don't have Solaris installed or If I had no disk on the system I can use flash-update-SunFire240 file (by putting it on a tftp server) to upgrade OBP ?
