STOP bypasses POST. STOP-A aborts POST.

STOP-D forces a diagnostic power on. The NVRAM Parameter diag-switch? is set to true.
Not supported by USB Keyboards.
STOP-F forces input and output to ttya. Input from the Keyboard is disabled except for L1-A.
Not supported by USB Keyboards.
STOP-N forces a set-defaults of the NVRAM.
Not supported by USB Keyboards.
With Sun Blade 1000/2000, power on and wait for the power button LED
to blink and the speaker to beep, then quickly depress the power button twice.

These examples are from an Enterprise 250 with OBP 3.5.

The help command displays the menu of available help options.
ok help

The upa-port-skip-list NVRAM variable is used to skip probing of UPA ports. The following UPA ports
are used:
Processors
UPA Ports 0, 1, 2, and 3
Frame Buffers UPA Ports 1d and 1e
Psycho
UPA Ports 4, 6, and 1f
ok setenv upa-port-skip-list 3,1d

The pci0-probe-list NVRAM variable is used to control the probe order for onboard PCI devices
(/pci@1f,4000). The probe order for PCI devices plugged into the backpanel slots cannot be controlled.
Devices omitted from the pci0-probe-list are not probed.
Devices in the pci0-probe-list are:
2 = scsi (rma backplane & external connector)
3 = scsi (4 disk backplane)
4 = Empty slot - Back panel slot 10
ok setenv pci0-probe-list 3,2,4

(Probe in order 3-2-4)

Due to internal PCI changes introduced in OBP 3.12, the Cheerio node is pseudo-probed and device 1
must always be included in the pci0-probe-list. Prior to OBP 3.12, an entry for device 1 was not required.
The default probe order for OBP 3.12 is 1-3-2-4.
Devices in the OBP 3.12 pci0-probe-list are:
1 = Cheerio (flash, nvram, superio, serial, audio, and I2C)
2 = SCSI (rma backplane & external connector)
3 = SCSI (4 disk backplane)
4 = PCI Slot 10
ok setenv pci0-probe-list 1,3,2,4

(Probe in order 1-3-2-4)

The pci-slot-skip-list NVRAM variable is used to skip probing of PCI devices plugged into the
backpanel slots. If slot 10 is in the pci-slot-skip-list, it will be skipped even if device 4 is included in the
pci0-probe-list.
ok setenv pci-slot-skip-list 4,6

(Skip slot 4 and 6)

The memory-interleave NVRAM variable controls how OBP sets memory interleaving. If interleaving is
enabled with mixed memory bank sizes, the smaller memory size is used and POST displays a smaller
memory value than is physically installed.
