Examples of these SCSI devices are 4-mm DDS-format tape drives, CD-ROM drives, and Winches- ter hard disk drives.

D_boot_cons.doc 195 Thu Jul 11 10:49:34 1996 Booting Your Workstation Usually, you start your workstation by turning it on and waiting for HP-UX to boot automatically. However, you may not always want the usual sequence to occur. For example, you may want to start your workstation from an operating sys- tem that is stored on a device that is different from your usual boot device.
