Searching for Bootable Media

Searching for Bootable Media
To list devices that contain bootable media, follow the directions in "Accessing the Boot
Console Handler" earlier in this chapter, and then type the following at the prompt and
press :
Enter
Main Menu: Enter command> search ipl
The search command searches all buses. The search may turn up more devices than there
are lines on the display. If you are using a text terminal, you may control the progress of
the search from the terminal's keyboard by using these keystrokes:
Temporarily suspends the search.
Ctrl S
Continues the search.
Ctrl Q
Any Other Key Stops the search.
These flow-control keystrokes do not work with a bitmapped display, but such a display
can show more than forty lines of text, so you are unlikely to need them.
To search for devices of just one type that actually contain bootable media, follow the
directions in "Accessing the Boot Console Handler" earlier in this chapter, and then type
the following at the prompt and press
