My SunFire V210 has been having a problem to boot up appropriately.
Therefore, I tried to get to the OBP prompt and hopefully I can boot it
up as single-user mode to see what happened to this system.
Here is what I have tried:
1) from the SC console, type poweroff and poweron and then type reset.
Then I type console. When I am seeing the OS is being boot up, I
issued the Ctrl+Break to try to go to the OBP. Looks like the system
got the signal, but unable to break. Here is what I see from the
console --> SC Alert: SC Request to send Break to host.
SC Request to send Break to host.
2) to start up the system in a normal way, i.e. poweron the system,
wait to see the system is being boot up. This time, I type break from
the SC prompt. Same thing. --> Are you sure you want to send a break
to the system [y/n]? y
sc>
SC Alert: SC Request to send Break to host.
My question is:
How do I make this V210 to release it's OBP? so that I can type "boot
-s" on it.
Please advise, thanks!
