And how about this:



# boot0cfg -o noupdate -s 1

Now when you choose to hit slice 2, it is only for a this one boot.

Next and each boot, defaults to slice 1



Problem is, that you must see, early bootstrap, to manually choose, so this won't work on a remote server.

This requires:

a) physicall access 

   or

b) ssh access to the remote box, which is conected via serial cable, to your server.



Anyone has any idea, for a case of a remote server, which is accessible over ssh, only when it is "up"?
