System Information Menu - IBM 265 Service Manual

If more than one option is enabled, the system recognizes only the option
corresponding to the smallest menu number. For example, if options 4 and 2 were
enabled, the system recognizes only Option 2: Service Mode Boot from Saved List.
After a boot attempt, all enabled options are disabled. In effect, the system discards any
menu options that are enabled after the option with the highest priority (the option with
the smallest menu number) is executed.
The user can also override the choices in the Boot Mode Menu while the system
initialization indicators display on the screen. For example, if the user had enabled the
system to enter the SMS menus (option 1) but pressed the 8 key while the system
initialization indicators displayed on the screen, the system enters the open firmware
prompt and disregards the settings in the Boot Mode Menu.

v Read VPD Image From Last System Boot
Displays manufacturer's vital product data (VPD), such as serial numbers, part
numbers, and so on, that were stored from the system boot prior to the one in
progress now.
v Read Progress Indicators from Last System Boot
Displays the boot progress indicators (checkpoints), up to a maximum of 100, from
the system boot prior to the one in progress. This historical information can help to
diagnose system faults.
The progress indicators are displayed in two sections. Above the dashed line are the
progress indicators (latest) from the boot that produced the current sessions. Below
the dashed line are progress indicators (oldest) from the boot preceding the one that
produced the current sessions.
