| I believe you are absolutely correct. Apparently the fresh systems from
| Sun -- some of them at least -- are coming in set to disk: b
|
| Hotline is supposed to know how to fix this. I think it is just
| boot disk:a
| and the system uses that as the default next time. However, you

Nope, that's not persistent. You must either
ok setenv boot-device disk
or
athena# eeprom boot-device=disk
I guess I lose two points for failing to read Anne's bug report
in full detail before sending my own in :-(
