Nothing. It'll just cause the command to fail. "--" is a standard POSIX command feature; it means "the options for this command end here, and all the rest should be interpreted as arguments, even if the look like options." With the "reboot" command, it means "pass the rest of this command to the kernel as its command line." I have no idea what "kernel-17" would mean in this context. It doesn't look right to me. But it could be right if you manually created such a directory and placed an alternative kernel there. >> I searched for solutions to this kind of error.

I'm baffled. You were asking about SUNWonbld and _building_ the software from source code. That has nothing to do with BEs.
