Setting the Auto Boot and Auto Search Flags
auto boot and auto search are variables stored in your workstation's nonvolatile
memory. (Nonvolatile memory retains its contents even after power is turned off.) If
you reset these flags to new value, the change takes effect the next time you reboot
the workstation.
auto boot boots the operating system whenever your workstation is turned on.
To examine the state of the auto boot and auto search flags, type the following at the
prompt:
Configuration Menu: Enter command >
If auto boot is set to on, your workstation automatically attempts to boot the operat-
ing system when turned on. If auto boot is set to off, your workstation enters the
boot administration mode of the boot console user interface.
The state of the auto search flag determines how your workstation seeks a boot de-
vice during autoboot. If auto search is set to on, your workstation will search for
other boot devices if the primary boot device is not available. If auto search is off,
your workstation will default to the boot administration mode if it can't see the pri-
mary boot device.
To change the state of the auto boot or auto search flags, type the following at the
prompt:
auto boot state
or
auto search state
where state is on or off.
Autosearch searches for devices in the following order:
Primary Boot Path
Alternate Boot Path
Built–in Fast, Wide SCSI Devices
Built–in Single–Ended SCSI Devices
Built–in LAN bootp servers
NOTICE: Fast Wide SCSI adapter option cards installed in the
option slots are not searched unless they are refer-
enced by the primary or alternate boot paths. EISA
cards are not searched.
