What's my MAC address? OpenBoot PROM edition


Discovering MAC addresses in OpenBoot PROM:

Enter OpenBoot Prom

Method 1: simple result

ok .enet-addr
0:3:ba:xx:xx:xx


Method 2: slightly more information

ok .idprom
Format/Type: ... Ethernet: 0 3 ba xx xx xx Date: ... Serial: ... Checksum: ...


Method 3: in-depth result

ok show-devs

Look through results for 'ethernet', 'network' or similar words. There will probably be multiple network devices.

ok cd /pci@1f,0/ethernet@5
ok
.properties

You will receive an output of device properties, look for:

local-mac-address 00 03 ba xx xx xx

Repeat as necessary.
