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
system's nonvolatile memory. (Nonvolatile 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.
The auto boot flag boots the operating system whenever your
workstation is turned on.
If auto boot is set to on, your system automatically attempts to boot the
operating system when turned on. If auto boot is set to off, your system
enters the boot administration mode of the boot console user interface.
The state of the auto search flag determines how your system seeks a
boot device during auto boot. If auto search is set to on, your system will
search for other boot devices if the primary boot device is not available. If
auto search is off, your system will default to the boot administration
mode if it can't see the primary boot device.
