Yep. Some of the openboot settings aren't obvious, and I think that the behavior changed between a couple of recent versions.

This is why we use a standard image for all systems so they do boot direct to OS should they lose power. It is also extremely important to have the correct rc start-up scripts in place and kill scripts :) -katia ----- Has everyone checked the power up behavior of their sun servers? In other words, are you sure that they'll start the OS without human intervention if you remove and re-insert the power cord? It's not likely to happen in a proper environment, of course, but you never know...
