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 appendix, and then type the following at the prompt: 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 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 other 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 command > search ipl device_type Where device_type is one of the following: fwscsi is the optional fast, wide differential SCSI bus, or the built-in ultra, wideSE SCSI bus (Model B180L only). sescsi is the built-in single-ended SCSI bus. lan is all connections to the built-in LAN. gscn is an optional fast, wide SCSI interface in slot number n. 203

The Boot Console Interface
Searching for Bootable Media
Searching for Bootable Media
To list devices that contain bootable media, follow the directions in “Access-
ing the Boot Console Interface” earlier in this appendix, and then type the
following at the prompt:
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
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 other 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 command >
search
ipl
device_type
Where
device_type
is one of the following:
fwscsi
is the optional fast, wide differential SCSI bus, or the built-in ultra, wide-
SE SCSI bus (Model B180L only).
sescsi
is the built-in single-ended SCSI bus.
lan
is all connections to the built-in LAN.
gsc
n
is an optional fast, wide SCSI interface in slot number
n.
