Most who responded suggested using "eeprom" and redirecting to a file:

e.g. eeprom  > filename


Joe Fletcher said:

-cut-

eeprom > output.txt

will give you some but not all of it.

-cut-


Eugene Schmidt expanded on what Joe said with:

-cut-

Most, but not all can be seen by doing:
eeprom

Alternatively, an RS232 cross cable to the serial port to another system.
(Sun/Laptop/..?)
Set capture on on Hyperterm/ "script /tmp/mylog; tip hardwire" or whatever
as required by tty session.

Reboot the server you wish to capture.

Break as system wishes to boot.

printenv

boot

Exit from tty emulator and close script/log

Make sure system boots.
-cut-
