Booting the Workstation

Usually, you start your workstation in Normal Mode by turning it on and
waiting for HP-UX to boot automatically. However, you may not want the
usual sequence to occur.
For example, you may want to start your workstation from an operating system
that is stored on a device that is di erent from your usual boot device. If
your normal operating system kernel or the disk on which it resides becomes
damaged or unusable, you may wish to boot from a di erent disk or perhaps
another type of device, such as a DDS-format tape drive.
