2. Determine what devices your system has installed. In particular you will need to note your
installation device (a floppy and/or CD-ROM), and your target disk drive. Entering the
command "show devices" as shown below will print out the information about your system:
>>>show device
dka0.0.0.3000.0 DKA0 RZ1CF-CF 1614
dka100.1.0.3000.0 DKA100 RZ1CF-CF 1614
dka200.2.0.3000.0 DKA200 COMPAQ BB00911CA0 3B05
dka300.3.0.3000.0 DKA300 COMPAQ BB00911CA0 3B05
dqa0.0.0.13.0 DQA0 TOSHIBA CD-ROM XM-6302B 1017
dva0.0.0.0.0 DVA0
eia0.0.0.2004.0 EIA0 00-50-8B-6F-62-AA
eib0.0.0.2005.0 EIB0 00-50-8B-6F-62-AB
eic0.0.0.2006.0 EIC0 00-50-8B-6F-38-84
eid0.0.0.2007.0 EID0 00-50-8B-6F-38-85
ewa0.0.0.9.0 EWA0 08-00-2B-86-1F-64
ewb0.0.0.11.0 EWB0 08-00-2B-86-1F-63
ewc0.0.0.3002.0 EWC0 00-06-2B-00-0A-5C
pka0.7.0.3000.0 PKA0 SCSI Bus ID 7
pkb0.7.0.3001.0 PKB0 SCSI Bus ID 7
In the output above, the first line shows that DKA0 is a hard disk, DQA0 is a CD-ROM, and
DVA0 is a floppy drive.
Also useful for inspecting the computer configuration is the "show config" command, as
shown here:
>>>show config | more
3. Configure the system SRM parameters to boot from your installation device. A table
providing cross referenced device names is located in Appendix C, for your convenience.
Example commands for configuring to boot from the CDROM device are shown here:
>>>set bootdef_dev dqa0
>>>set boot_file
>>>set boot_osflags
>>>show boot*
boot_dev dqa0.0.0.13.0
boot_file
boot_osflags
boot_reset OFF
bootdef_dev dqa0.0.0.13.0
booted_dev
booted_file
booted_osflags
4. Insert the Suse 6.3 CD into the drive.
5. Boot the system using the "boot –flags 0" command. The result should be that the system
boots from the CDROM.
