3. Boot the device by using the BOOT command from the BCH interface.
You can issue the BOOT command in any of the following ways:
•
BOOT
Issuing the BOOT command with no arguments boots the device at the primary (PRI)
boot path.
• BOOT bootvariable
This command boots the device indicated by the specified boot path, where bootvariable
is the PRI, HAA, or ALT boot path.
For example, BOOT PRI boots the primary boot path.
• BOOT LAN INSTALL or BOOT LAN.ip-address INSTALL
The BOOT... INSTALL commands boot HP-UX from the default HP-UX install server
or from the server specified by ip-address.
• BOOT path
This command boots the device at the specified path. You can specify the path in HP-UX
hardware path notation (for example, 0/0/2/0/0.13) or in path label format (for example,
P0 or P1) .
If you specify the path in path label format, then path refers to a device path reported
by the last SEARCH command.
After you issue the BOOT command, the BCH interface prompts you to specify whether you
want to stop at the ISL prompt.
To boot the /stand/vmunix HP-UX kernel from the device without stopping at the ISL
prompt, enter n to automatically proceed past ISL and execute the contents of the AUTO file
on the chosen device. (By default the AUTO file is configured to load /stand/vmunix.)

LVM-maintenance mode, stop at the ISL prompt and specify the appropriate arguments to
the hpux loader.
