Boot Console Handler
Booting The Workstation
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
operating system. If you do not want to interact with ISL, you must enter no (
N
).
For example, if the usual kernel (
/stand/vmunix
) on your root disk (
fwscsi.6.0
) has
become corrupted, and you wish to boot your computer from the backup kernel
(
/stand/vmunix.prev
), type the following at the ISL> prompt and press
Enter
:
ISL>
hpux
/stand/vmunix.prev
If you do not know which media in your file systems have bootable operating systems,
you
can
find
them
with
the
search ipl
command.
See
the
subsequent
section
“Searching for Bootable Media” on page 166.
