Re: [foxboro] Sun Machine EEPROM

The prom re-write programs exist only in Solaris 2.5.1 I/A.
Solaris 8 and 10 I/A use the "eeprom" command to setup only
the parameters necessary early in the startup (boot process)
of a workstation.

In addition, there is a Foxboro re-write which runs at system startup
to set specific Foxboro variables.  It is called

    /usr/local/medusa/prom_aw

I think it is a rewrite of the SUN program, and as such works in a 
similar manner.  But it does, set these variables which have to 
do with primary and backup boot devices.

It exists as part of the mirrored hard drive software, but I think it is

in every AW load (AP as well?) and runs on every reboot.  It can be
annoying if one sets a parameter that prom_aw then modifies.
