Boot Console Handler Searching for Bootable Media Searching for Bootable Media To list devices that 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 The search command searches all buses. The search may turn up more devices than there are lines on the display. If you are using a text terminal, you may control the progress of the search from the terminal's keyboard by using these keystrokes: Ctrl S Temporarily suspends the search. Ctrl Q 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. pcin 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.) 146 Chapter 6
