112 SunPCi III 3.2.1 Users Guide March 2004
-l Displays the system’s installed and recognized SunPCi cards. The switch
returns the Card Name, for example Card1; the device file name in the
/dev directory, for example /dev/sunpci2drv0; the card’s Type and
Description; and the card’s standard MAC address, for example ID =
08:00:20:F9:5F:2C. See “How to Identify Card Names” on page 25 for
a complete listing of the output format.
-n Stops the verification of card and disk image combination, and stops the
display of the warning dialog box, if you start an image with a card on
which the image was not created. See “How to Create an .ini File Using
the -n Option” on page 24 for the full text of the warning. If you wish to
rebind the image and current card, see the -B option. Formerly -nomac.
-n filename.ini Creates a new filename.ini file and a new disk image name incorporating
the file name. The command brings up the SunPCi III Disk Create menu
GUI, with the default disk name already created as
$HOME/pc/C.filename.diskimage. If the file already exists the sunpci
command aborts, and no file name is created. Formerly -new.
-p filename.ini Starts SunPCi III software with the configuration information in the
properties file specified with filename. The default properties file for
SunPCi III is $HOME/pc/SunPC.ini.
-R Forces the CMOS to be reloaded in the current disk.image file, similar to
clearing the CMOS on a PC motherboard. This command is used when
the BIOS setup option has changed, if SunPCi does not boot, or to restore
SunPCi default settings. After using this command, a message displays
confirming the CMOS has been updated.
-title Text string Writes the title argument into the title bar of the SunPCi III window when
the argument Text string is a quoted character string including spaces. The
quotes are unnecessary if the character string contains no spaces.
-v Directs video to the external video connector. Refer to
FIGURE 10-1 to find
the location of the video port. For information about how to set this for
your monitor, consult the applicable operating system chapter for more
information. Formerly -vga.
-w [time] Causes SunPCi III software to retry failed X server connections, either
indefinitely (if no time argument follows -w), or for time seconds. If time is
specified and SunPCi III software has not successfully connected to an X
server after time seconds, SunPCi III software exits. Formerly -xwait.
