Cannot boot machine
I have a sun v240 running solaris 9. I recently changed the ip via the ifconfig command but made a mistake when running the command:
ifconfig bge0 (ip address) netmask (ip address)
when i meant to do:
ifconfig bge0 (ip address) netmask ffff0000 broadcast (ip address)
Now when I boot the machine it stops booting because it cannot communicate with NIS via DHCP. All I can get to at this point is the ok prompt.
My queston is can change the I.P from the ok prompt if not, what can I do to correct my mistake? Thanks
