The doFlash.txt file

A note about the 'doFlash.txt' file in the OS update:
This file's content is just a number, either 1 or 0. When the Solaris boots up, it looks to the OS folder for this file. If it is not there, or if the file is a 0, then booting proceeds as usual. However, if it sees a 1, then it loads the OS located in the OS folder. Following that, this file gets rewritten to a 0, so that it won't process it again on subsequent boot ups.
