- I'm no expert in this area...but the Open Boot PROM list of variables
- includes four of interest:
-
- oem-banner (customer power-on text banner)
- oem-banner? default false (if true, use custom oem-banner)
- oem-logo (customer power-on graphic logo)
- oem-logo? default false (if true, use custom oem-logo)
-
- For details of how to use this, look in the Open Boot PROM reference
- manaual; I don't know the name or part number, but if it wasn't shipped
- with your system, your sales-critter can no doubt find it for you.
