You have a boot disk under svm, the machine fails to boot
and remains in ok prompt? what could be the possible reason?

Answer Posted / venu gopal

you have to specify the boot device in the ok prompt i.e,
your default boot device not having OS or /etc/system or
/etc/vfstab file corrupted.
boot in interactive mode (ok boot -a)specify boot device as
cdrom,check this (ok printenv auto-boot?)
auto-boot?=false
if it is false then u have to boot manualy
