OBP Error: FATAL: system is not bootable, boot command is disabled

July 29, 2009 · Filed Under hardware 

When you run any boot command like “boot net” or “boot -s” from the OK prompt (OBP), you may end up with the error

FATAL: system is not bootable, boot command is disabled

Don’t panic!!!


This error indicates that interrupted the boot process prematurely, most likely when the memory checks were run with “STOP + A” or a break from console.

To resolve this problem simply Power OFF and power ON the system. Alternatively, you can perform a “reset-all” from the OK prompt.

This should help!

    {1} ok boot cdrom
    FATAL: /memory@m0,0: OpenBoot initialization sequence prematurely terminated.

    FATAL: system is not bootable, boot command is disabled

    Do Like this

    {1} ok printenv auto-boot?
    auto-boot? = true
    {1} ok setenv auto-boot? false
    auto-boot? = false
    {1} ok reset-all

    System will boot in to ok prompt.
    Then the issue will dissapper
