NOTE

Dealing with a Boot Failure

If your usual boot device (typically a disk) is not responding as it should,
you must try to boot from the disk (or another boot device) by selecting it
manually. Note that you must be superuser (root) to perform the steps
in this section.
To boot a device manually, follow these steps:
1. Follow the directions in "Accessing the Boot Console Interface," in
Chapter 5 of this document.
Your computer automatically shuts down the operating system before it
terminates the power.
2. At the Main Menu prompt, type the following and press
Main Menu: Enter command > search ipl
This causes you computer to search exhaustively for bootable media.
3. Boot from one of the listed devices by typing the following at the
prompt and press
Main Menu: Enter command > boot device
where device is the hardware path to the device, specified in
mnemonic style notation, such as SCSI.5.0.
4. Answer "N" to the question, INTERACT WITH IPL (Y,N,Q)?
