Jumpstart eeprom command

Hi,

I am jumpstarting several E15k domains. The interface on the domains is not
the one specified by the net devalias, therefore I create a "jumpnet" devalias
at the OBP prompt which points to the correct interface and then I do a boot
jumpnet - install. This works fine. Problem is that in my finish scripts I
have to set up my bootdisk alias via the eeprom command by doing a ls -l on
the /dev/dsk/c?t?t?d? and getting the physical device path which also works
fine.

However when I set nvramrc to true and then create the bootdisk devalias and
reboot my jumpnet devalias I set at the OBP prompt is gone. Is there a way to
append to the nvram via eeprom command so my jumpnet alias remains intact. Or
is there a way to determine the actual hardware path like I do for the
bootdisk since I know the interface comes up as ce0?

Thanks

Jeff
