dpt1port Specifies the location of a single-port SCSI controller
card(s). The dpt1port parameter allows a comma
separated list of hardware locations in the form x/y where
x is the bus number and y is the slot number. For example,
dpt1port=2/6,3/6 specifies that there are single-port
SCSI controller cards in slot 6 of PCI bay 2 and 3.
dumpdev Specifies the dump device for the system. The dumpdev
parameter has the form (v/w/x.y.z;n) where
v/w/x.y.z specifies the hardware path to the dump
device and n is the minor number that controls
manager-dependent functions (n is always 0). The default
is (;).
enet_intrlimit
fddi_intrlimit
In some cases of high and bursty traffic conditions, the
interface can go down. You can control how much traffic is
acceptable on each interface before the link can go down, by
configuring the interrupt limit. At boot time, you can do
this by setting the enet_intrlimit or fddi_intrlimit
environment variable at the LYNX prompt (or you could set
the value in the CONF file). The recommended setting is
6000 or 0x1800 (the default value).
initlevel Specifies the initial run-level for init when booting the
system. The specified run-level overrides the default
run-level specified in the initdefault entry in
/etc/inittab. For more information, see the init(1M)
and inittab(4) man pages.
islprompt Specifies whether to display the ISL> prompt during the
manual boot process. To display the prompt, enter
islprompt=1. The display appears as part of the manual
boot unless islprompt is set to 0.
kernel Specifies the LIF file name of the image the bootloader will
load. The default is BOOT, which is the secondary
bootloader.
memsize Specifies the size of memory (in kilobytes) that the system
should have. The default is the maximum memory
available.
ncpu Specifies the number of processors the system should have.
The default is the maximum number of processors present
in the system.
