Installing From the CD-ROM

Step 3. Back up your system before installing BOOTAUTH11i.

Step 4. Use SD to install the BOOTAUTH11i bundle from the CD. Note that you may need to

specify the autoreboot ﬂag as the bundle contains an init(1M) patch.

Step 5. After the system reboots, verify the installation logs using the following command:
