Those are briefly mentioned for the specific softraid case in
boot_sparc64(8) but I want better offline documentation.
Technically `boot-device' accepts the empty string as well but all that
OBP does is
{0} ok setenv boot-device ''
boot-device = ''
{0} ok boot
...
Evaluating:
No viable default device found in boot-device variable.
{0} ok
I see no benefit in documenting it, especially since eeprom(8)
explicitly mentions how variables are platform dependent, may not
exist and such; so this mileage already covers that.
Feedback? OK?
