| show-disks | Displays the disks attached to the system and allows you to pick one to be used in a later command. |
| nvalias [ $device | ^Y ] | Set up an alias for a device. You can use the show-disks command to select a device, then issue a <CTRL>-Y to paste it into the command line. Otherwise, you're typing the whole device path which is prone to errors. |

| setenv ${parm} | Sets an OBP parameter. |
| nvstore | Stores all the nvalias parameters that you've created. |

| reset-all | Clears out memory - needed before issuing a probe-scsi-all. Ensure the auto-boot? parameter is set to false, otherwise system will competely reboot. |
