Description
How to run hpost on system board with no I/O configured.

Steps to Follow
When running hpost on a standalone system board which doesn't have any Sbus cards, hpost will fail as follows :
phase iom_probe: I/O module type probe...
No minimum system left after I/O module type probe! Bailing out!
... board dump ...
Exitcode = 76: Unable to configure a bootable system

To allow the system board to run without any I/O, simply add the following entry to the .postrc file for the domain.

no_scards_ok

This file is located in /var/opt/SUNWssp/etc/<platform>/<domain>/.postrc.

Similar issues with system boards without memory can be avoided by adding the entry to the .postrc file:

no_memory_ok
