Boot Console Interface
Booting Your Workstation
184
(ISL) before booting your workstation, follow the direc-
tions in “Accessing the Boot Console Interface” earlier
in this appendix, and then type the following at the
prompt
Main Menu: Enter command >
boot
device
You are prompted:
Interact with ISL (Y,N,Q)>
Answering yes (
y
) causes the ISL to be loaded from the
specified device. After a short time, the following
prompt appears on your screen:
ISL>
ISL is the program that actually controls the loading of
the operating system. By interacting with ISL, you can
choose to load an alternate version of the HP-UX oper-
ating system. If you do not want ISL to be loaded, you
must enter
no
.
For example, if the usual kernel (
/stand/vmunix
) on
your root disk (
fwscsi.6.0
) has become corrupted, and
you wish to boot your workstation from the backup ker-
nel (
/stand/vmunix.prev
), type the following at the
ISL>
prompt:
ISL>
hpux /stand/vmunix.prev
If you do not know which media in your file sys-
tems have bootable operating systems, you can find
them with the
search IPL
command.
