--bootseq numerical list,
separated by
commas
or
list of device
names,
separated by
commas
This option sets the boot order for
a system. Without an argument,
this option prints the boot order
list. The argument must be
formatted as a comma-separated
numerical list with no spaces. The
list must be within the bounds of
the current boot list, i.e. the low
and high numbers must match,
and the same number of entries
must be supplied. This option is
available on all supported systems.
Systems that use a numerical list
for boot order cannot be
replicated.
Some systems also allow the boot
order to be expressed as a list of
device names. Device names are
formatted as a
name.location.instance string,
where name is the name of the
device, location is either slot or
embedded (emb), and instance is
the numerical position of the
device. Some device name
examples are shown below.
Systems that support a list of
device names for boot order can be
replicated.
