This has only this problem that it is not a very convenent way if you
have to change something.

Actually _do not_ set boot_file and set boot_osflags to 0.  With aboot
installed and a correct /etc/aboot.conf this will boot automatically an
entry flagged '0' from that file if auto_action was set to BOOT and a
proper bootdef_dev.  If you want to change something then edit
aboot.conf or break boot and pass 'fl -i' to SRM to get aboot into an
"interactive" mode.  Details in 'aboot' documentation but for a sample
configuration file look at the first installation CD.

Searching archives of this group would likely get a better answer.
