Is there an easy way to see which disk I am booting from without having to take the system down to the OK prompt? If I type, eeprom |grep
boot-device at the command line, I get the following:
boot-device=disk0:a disk:a
So I know my first boot device is disk0, but how do I tell without going
to the OK prompt what actual device name disk0 is pointing to?
