Mode Configuration - Control Flags
YES means that optional selftests will not be executed and that tests on some inter-
faces and devices such as graphics will be minimized. Because HP-UX and HP-RT
require that console and all graphics devices be initialized before control is given to
the OS, it is strongly recommended that Fast Boot be left at NO.
YES means that console input will not be enabled.
YES means that at power on or reset, an attempt will be made to locate and boot
from a boot device.
YES means that chassis codes will be sent to the RS-232 (A) device. This device is
initialized to operate at 9600 baud, 8 bits per byte and no parity. If this device is
the console, the console should have the same operating parameters. (these are the
default parameters for RS-232 console devices) If the console must be RS-232 port
A and the parameters must be different (e.g. 19200 baud) then Diagnostics to RS-
232 port A should not be enabled.
YES means that chassis codes will be sent to an OEM supplied routine. The sup-
plied default routine returns without taking any action.
YES means that when ISL is executed, it will stop and ask for commands.
NO means that when ISL is executed, it will attempt to execute the commands in
the AUTO file.
YES means that if the attempt to locate a boot device fails, start at the beginning of
the search list and try again. This process will continue indefinitely.
NO means that if the attempt to locate a boot device fails, invoke the Boot Console
Handler.
YES means that at power up or reset, use the interactive console selection method
to locate a console. NO means that the console and keyboard search lists will be
used to locate a console device.
