I have replaced the nvram on my Sun V480 and now the system stops at the "ctrl-d for normal startup, or root password for maintenance" part. The nvram auto-boot=true, but it still stops here.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks. (4 Replies)

guess(8) NVRAM WakeUp guess(8)
NAME
guess - Tries to guess the configuration by comparing four dumps of the NVRAM.
SYNOPSIS
guess
DESCRIPTION
guess tries to figure out the position of the wakeup time settings in the NVRAM. Just run guess from within the directory, where the four
NVRAM dumps at stored as "31.23.59.59+", "11.12.13.14+", "01.00.00.00+" and "01.00.00.00-". The file names denote the wakeup time, you have
to set manually, before dumping the NVRAM:
<DD>.<HH>.<MM>.<SS><status>
<DD> = Day of month
<HH> = Hour
<MM> = Minute
<SS> = Second
<status> = wakeup enabled (+) or disabled (-)
