go to the OK prompt with halt or init 0 or uadmin 2 0. At
the OK prompt, type boot disk /<flash-update file name> and
hit Return. Follow instructions printed on the screen. Note:

From Solaris shell
You can also update the OBP from a Solaris window (command

patch. Log in as root and cd to the patch directory, then
run the executable UNIX flash update file by typing sh
<unix.flash-update-filename.sh>. Follow instructions printed

versions, type sa to select them, then proceed per
