reconfig reboot after patching
will reboot -- -r update boot_archive ?

this is the what I see on my console.

# reboot -- -r
15+0 records in
15+0 records out
syncing file systems... done

It doesn't say updating /platform/sun4u/boot_archive as it displayed on my console after init 0or init 6 ?

Never reconfigure your system on that way.
Proper way is to log in as root and than

Code:
touch /reconfigure 
shutdown -y -g0 -i6

The only difference between:
Code:
# touch /reconfigure; shutdown -y -g0 -i6

and
Code:
# reboot -- -r

is that first case allows any shutdown scripts to run whereas reboot bypasses those.

maybe you need to change the cfg?
