OK,

Let's say I'm in the rom monitor ( i.e. the NeXT> prompt ).  I want to change  
the boot parameter such that the device at SCSI address 4 is the default boot  
device.  I have 4 devices on the bus.  

	internal 100meg		SCSI 1
	internal floppy		SCSI 7
	cdrom drive		SCSI 2
	external 400meg		SCSI 4  <--- boot from here!!!!

Exactly what do I enter at the "boot command" prompt ?

Thanks^6
