In SRM, Ethernet interfaces are named with the <userinput>ewa</userinput> prefix, and will be listed in the output of the <userinput>show dev</userinput> command, like this (edited slightly): <informalexample><screen>
>>> show dev
ewa0.0.0.9.0 EWA0 08-00-2B-86-98-65
ewb0.0.0.11.0 EWB0 08-00-2B-86-98-54
ewc0.0.0.2002.0 EWC0 00-06-2B-01-32-B0
</screen></informalexample> You first need to set the boot protocol: <informalexample><screen>
>>> set ewa0_protocols bootp
</screen></informalexample> Then check the medium type is correct: <informalexample><screen>
>>> set ewa0_mode <replaceable>mode</replaceable>
</screen></informalexample> You can get a listing of valid modes with <userinput>>>>set ewa0_mode</userinput>.

If you wish to use a serial console, you <emphasis>must</emphasis> pass the <userinput>console=</userinput> parameter to the kernel. This can be done using the <userinput>-flags</userinput> argument to the SRM <userinput>boot</userinput> command. The serial ports are named the same as their corresponding files in <userinput>/dev</userinput>. Also, when specifying additional kernel parameters, you must repeat certain default options that are needed by the &d-i; images. For example, to boot from <userinput>ewa0</userinput> and use a console on the first serial port, you would type:
