Searching for Bootable Media
To list all devices that may contain bootable media, go
to the Main Menu of the Boot Console Interface and
then type the following at the prompt:
search ipl
The search may turn up more devices than there are
lines on the display. If using a text terminal, control
the progress of the search from the terminal’s key-
board 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
Esc
These flow-control commands do not work with a
bitmapped display, but such a display can show more
than forty lines of text, so they are unnecessary.
To search for devices of
just one type
that actually con-
tain bootable media, go to the Main Menu of the Boot
Console Interface and then type the following at the
prompt:
search ipl
device_type
where
device_type
is one of the following:
fwscsi
is the built-in fast, wide differential SCSI bus or
the built-in ultra, wide single-ended SCSI bus
slot
n
.fwscsi
is an optional fast, wide SCSI bus
sescsi
is the built-in narrow single-ended SCSI bus
lan
is all connections to the built-in LAN
