Editing The Nvram Script - Compaq AlphaServer 1200 User Manual

Editing the Nvram Script

You can create an nvram script to include any commands you want the system to
execute at power-up.
You create and edit the nvram script using the SRM edit command. With edit, lines
may be added, overwritten, or deleted.
The syntax is:
edit file
file is the name of the file to be edited.
The editing commands are:
help Displays the brief help file.
list Lists the current file prefixed with line numbers.
renumber Renumbers the lines of the file in increments of 10.
exit Leaves the editor and closes the file, saving all changes.
quit Leaves the editor and closes the file without saving changes.
nn Deletes line number nn.
nn text Adds or overwrites line number nn with text.
NOTE: It is possible to disable the system by editing the nvram script. For example,
if you include the initialize command in the script, the system will go into an endless
loop. To fix this, press the Halt button while the system is powering up. You can
then edit the script to delete the offending command.
