Bring the system down

# init 0

from OBP

***************************************************************************
System now needs to be booted to run the Flash Update utility. Please note
this systems "boot-device" parameter is "disk".If system being updated has a
different parameter then that is what should be used in the following boot command.
Using the "printenv" command from the ok> prompt, and checking the "boot-device"
parameter will confirm what should be used.The Flash Update utility will then
be run.It will require four responses.I have indicated the the correct reponses
by putting them in double quotes.
