Control Flags

The main part of this menu shows all of the control flag names and whether the flag is set
or not. If the flag is set (YES) in the set column, the action controlled by the flag will hap-
pen at the appropriate time in Boot ROM operations. Table 3-3 lists the flags and their set-
ting indications.

Mode Configuration - Control Flags
YES means that optional self-tests will not be executed and that
tests on some interfaces and devices such as graphics will be min-
imized. Because HP-UX requires 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 (19200 baud,
for example) 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 supplied 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.
