tions in "Accessing the Boot Console Interface" earlier
in this appendix, and then type the following at the
prompt

You are prompted:

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 oper-
ating system. If you do not want ISL to be loaded, you
must enter no.
For example, if the usual kernel (/stand/vmunix) on
your root disk (fwscsi.6.0) has become corrupted, and
you wish to boot your workstation from the backup ker-
nel (/stand/vmunix.prev), type the following at the
ISL> prompt:
hpux /stand/vmunix.prev
ISL>
If you do not know which media in your file sys-
•
tems have bootable operating systems, you can find
them with the search IPL command.
