[K12OSN] Re: How to make a Mac default to network boot

[Petre Scheie]

Yeah, I've got the CMD-OPT-O-F part (Chuck gave that to me the other night, and I wrote 
it down).  And the page that Jimmy pointed me to has the syntax for setting it to 
default to booting from the network:

setenv boot-device enet:192.168.1.254

I haven't tried it yet because I need to know the syntax for setting the default back to 
booting from the hard drive.  Does anyone know that?  Also, is there a way to specify 
the netboot with the above, but without specifying the server's address?  I should think 
so since holding down the N key during boot works and I don't tell it the server address 
for that.  I just want it to automatically do a broadcast request.
