Setting the Auto Boot and Auto Search Flags

Setting the Auto Boot and Auto Search
Flags
The auto boot and auto search flags are variables
stored in your workstation's non-volatile memory.
(Non-volatile memory retains its contents even after
power is turned off.) If you reset these flags to new
values, the change takes effect the next time you
reboot the workstation.
To examine the state of the auto boot and auto search
flags, type the following at the prompt:
auto
If auto boot is set to on, your workstation automati-
cally attempts to boot the operating system when
turned on. If auto boot is set to off, your workstation
enters the boot administration mode of the boot con-
sole user interface.
The state of the auto search flag determines how your
workstation seeks a boot device during autoboot. If
auto search is set to on, your workstation will search
for other boot devices if the primary boot device is not
available. If auto search is off, your workstation will
default to the boot administration mode if it can't see
the primary boot device.
