Searching for Bootable Media To list devices that contain bootable media, follow the directions in "Accessing the Boot Console Interface" earlier in this appendix, and then type the following at the prompt: Main Menu: Enter a command or a menu > search ipl Enter The search command searches all buses. The search may turn up more devices than there are lines on your display. If you are using a text terminal, you may control the progress of the search from your terminal's keyboard by performing the following steps: • To hold the display temporarily, press Ctrl S • To continue the display, press Ctrl Q • To halt the search, press any key These flow-control commands do not work with a bitmapped display, but such a display can show more than forty lines of text, so you are unlikely to need them. To search for devices of just one type that actually contain bootable media, follow the directions in "Accessing the Boot Console Interface" earlier in this appendix, and then type the following at the prompt: Main Menu: Enter a command or a menu > search ipl device_type Enter where device_type is one of the following: fwscsi is the built-in fast, wide SCSI bus scsi is the built-in single-ended SCSI bus lan is all connections to the built-in LAN D-11

To list devices that contain bootable media, follow the directions in
“Accessing the Boot Console Interface” earlier in this appendix, and
then type the following at the prompt:
Main Menu: Enter a command or a menu >
search
ipl
Enter
The search command searches all buses. The search may turn up
more devices than there are lines on your display. If you are using a
text terminal, you may control the progress of the search from your
terminal’s keyboard by performing the following steps:
To hold the display temporarily, press
Ctrl
S
To continue the display, press
Ctrl
Q
To halt the search, press any key
These flow-control commands do not work with a bitmapped display,
but such a display can show more than forty lines of text, so you are
unlikely to need them.
To search for devices of
just one type
that actually contain bootable
media, follow the directions in “Accessing the Boot Console Inter-
face” earlier in this appendix, and then type the following at the
prompt:
Main Menu: Enter a command or a menu >
search
ipl
device_type
Enter
where
device_type
is one of the following:
fwscsi
is the built-in fast, wide SCSI bus
scsi
is the built-in single-ended SCSI bus
lan
is all connections to the built-in LAN
