Important Notes: If performing this recommendation when troubleshooting a problem at OBP, verify the auto-boot? parameter is set to false.
If set to true it is possible that the procedure could result in a reboot loop condition that further complicates troubleshooting. Make sure and reset this variable after troubleshooting has completed.
