Description
Consider the following sequence of commands:

# grep boot-file /boot/solaris/bootenv.rc
# bootadm update-archive
# eeprom boot-file=kernel/unix
# grep boot-file /boot/solaris/bootenv.rc
# bootadm update-archive -v
cannot find: /etc/devices/mdi_ib_cache: No such file or directory
cannot find: /etc/cluster/nodeid: No such file or directory
cannot find: /platform/i86pc/biosint: No such file or directory
    changed /boot/solaris/bootenv.rc
updating /platform/i86pc/amd64/boot_archive...this may take a minute
updating /platform/i86pc/boot_archive...this may take a minute


As of build 57, boot-file no longer goes in bootenv.rc, but eeprom still updates bootenv.rc anyways.
