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 your display. If you are using a text terminal, you may control the progress of
the search from your terminal's keyboard by performing the following steps:
• To hold the display temporarily, press Ctrl S
• To continue the display, press Ctrl Q
• To halt the search, press any other key
These flow-control commands do not work with a bit-mapped 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
Main Menu: Enter command> search ipl device_type
Where device_type is one of the following:
• fwscsi is the built-in Ultra2 Wide LVD SCSI bus.
• scsi is the built-in Fast Narrow Single-Ended SCSI bus.
• lan is all connections to the built-in LAN.
• ide is the built-in CD-ROM.
• pcin is an optional SCSI interface in slot number n.
