The boot command accepts a file name for the RAC's image. If the file
name is not specified, boot displays the file name that was last entered
using the image command, and prompts for one. If you do not provide a
file name, or have not defined one for the RAC using the image command,
boot requests the default oper.64.enet file.
For more information about the image command, see
page 3-17.
To set the interface used for booting, use the sequence command.When

decompressed and loaded into RAM. If it does not match, the RAC uses
the next interface specified by the sequence command.
For more information about the sequence command, see
