The Boot Console Interface
Searching for Bootable Media
Searching for Bootable Media
To list devices that contain bootable media, follow the directions in
“Accessing the Boot Console Interface” earlier in this chapter, and then
type the following at the prompt and press
Enter
:
Main Menu: Enter command> search ipl
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 using these keystrokes:
Ctrl S
Temporarily suspends the search.
Ctrl Q
Continues the search.
Any Other Key
Stops the search.
These flow-control keystrokes 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 chapter, and then type the following at the prompt and
press
Enter
:
Main Menu: Enter command> search ipl
