earlier in this chapter, and then type the following at the prompt and
press
Enter
:
Main Menu: Enter command> search ipl

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 Handler
earlier in this chapter, and then type
the following at the prompt and press
Enter
:
Main Menu: Enter command> search ipl
device_type
where
device_type
is one of the following:
scsi
Is the built-in Ultra2 Wide LVD SCSI bus.
lan
Is all connections to the built-in LAN.
pci
n
Is an optional plug-in device in PCI slot number
n
.
ide
Is the built-in IDE bus.
disk
Is all connections except LAN (for example, PCI cards, etc.)
