5.18 Creating a Power-Up Script
The system comes with a special nonvolatile file named “nvram” that is
stored in EEROM. Nvram is a user-created power-up script (set of
commands) that is always invoked during the power-up sequence. Use
the SRM edit command to create or alter the nvram script.
Example 5–17 Editing the Nvram Script
P00>>> edit nvram editing ‘nvram’ 0 bytes read in
*10 set ewa0_protocols bootp *list
10 set ewa0_protocols bootp *exit 27 bytes written out to nvram
This example shows how to modify the user-created power-up script, “nvram.”
In this example the script is edited to include a command that allows you to
boot the Tru64 UNIX operating system over the network.
Example 5–18 Clearing the Nvram Script
P00>>> edit nvram editing ‘nvram’ 20 bytes read in
*10 *exit 0 bytes written out to nvram P00>>>
To clear the script, enter line numbers without any text. This deletes the lines.
