Do the following as root:

# vi /etc/master.d/kernel		! change tuneable parameters
# cd /
# cp unix oldunix			! good idea to save just in case
# cd /boot
# mkboot -k KERNEL			! make a new kernel
# cd /
# shutdown -g0 -i5 -y			! go to firmware

FIRMWARE MODE

Enter program ... 		/etc/system

Load device is the HD (hard disk)

A new unix will be configured... and loaded.
