(Non-volatile memory retains its contents even after power is turned off.) If you reset these flags to new value, the change takes effect the next time you reboot the workstation. To examine the state of the auto boot and auto search flags, type the following at the prompt: Configuration Menu: Enter command > auto Enter If auto boot is set to on, your workstation automatically attempts to boot the operating system when turned on. If auto boot is set to off, your workstation enters the boot administration mode of the boot console user interface. The state of the auto search flag determines how your workstation seeks a boot device during autoboot. If auto search is set to on, your workstation will search for other boot devices if the primary boot device is not available. If auto search is off, your workstation will default to the boot administration mode if it can't see the primary boot device. To change the state of the auto boot or auto search flags, type the following at the prompt: Configuration Menu: Enter command > auto boot state Enter or Configuration Menu: Enter command > auto search state Enter where state is on or off.

auto boot
and
auto search
are variables stored in your workstation’s
non-volatile memory. (Non-volatile memory retains its contents even
after power is turned off.) If you reset these flags to new value, the
change takes effect the next time you reboot the workstation.
To examine the state of the
auto boot
and
auto search
flags, type the
following at the prompt:
Configuration Menu: Enter command >
auto
Enter
If
auto boot
is set to
on
, your workstation automatically attempts to
boot the operating system when turned on. If
auto boot
is set to
off
,
your workstation enters the boot administration mode of the boot con-
sole user interface.
The state of the
auto search
flag determines how your workstation
seeks a boot device during autoboot. If
auto search
is set to
on
, your
workstation will search for other boot devices if the primary boot de-
vice is not available. If
auto search
is
off
, your workstation will de-
fault to the boot administration mode if it can’t see the primary boot
device.
To change the state of the
auto boot
or
auto search
flags, type the
following at the prompt:
Configuration Menu: Enter command >
auto boot
state
Enter
or
Configuration Menu: Enter command >
