## Boot the Oracle Solaris Operating System

1. At the `ok` prompt, boot from the disk that contains the Oracle Solaris OS.
   - If you know which disk to boot from, skip this step and perform Step 2.
   - If you need to determine which disk to boot from, type the `show-disks` command at the `ok` prompt to see the path to the configured disks, similar to the following:

         ok show-disks
         a) /pci@0/pci@0/pci@2/scsi@0/disk0
         b) /pci@0/pci@0/pci@1/pci@0/pci@1/pci@0/usb@0,2/storage@2/disk
         q) NO SELECTION Enter Selection, q to quit: q
         ok

2. Type the `boot` command at the `ok` prompt.

   Use the value from Step 1 to construct the `boot` command. You must append the target to the disk path.

   In the following example, the server is booted from disk 0 (zero).

       ok boot disk0

       Boot device: /pci@0/pci@0/pci@2/scsi@0/disk@0  File and args:
