Primary Boot Device Type
This parameter selects the type of device to boot from in the event that the attempt to
boot from the alternate device fails or is not selected. Currently, only SCSI and floppy
drives can be selected as the primary boot device.
Primary Boot Device Unit #
This parameter selects which primary drive number to boot from. Valid unit numbers for
SCSI drives are 0-6. Valid unit numbers for floppy drives are 0 and 1. The setup routine
will not allow you to select an invalid unit number.
Alternate Boot Device Type
This parameter selects the type of device to attempt to boot from first, before defaulting
to the primary boot device. Currently supported alternate boot devices are Floppy,
Streamer or None (boot from primary device only).
Alternate Boot Device Unit #
This parameter selects which alternate device number to boot from. Valid unit numbers
0-6 for SCSI streamers drives, and 0 or 1 for floppy drives. The setup routine will not
allow you to select an invalid unit number. Remember you should know how many
devices you currently have on the system before you enter this number. If you select a
number and the device is not found, it will go to the primary boot selection.
Boot Monitor File Name
This parameter allows the user to change the name of the monitor file to be loaded
during boot. Any valid file name may be entered. The monitor file must exist, and reside
in account [1,4] of the first logical disk of the selected boot device. This parameter is not
used when booting from a tape device. Backspace and the arrow keys are used when
editing this field. If the file name is smaller than 6 characters you must pad this
field with trailing spaces.
Boot Initialization File Name
This parameter allows the user to change the name of the system initialization (INI) file
to be used during boot. Any valid file name may be entered. The INI file must exist, and
reside in account [1,4] of the first logical disk of the selected boot device. As with the
boot monitor option, if the file name is smaller than 6 characters you must pad
this field with trailing spaces.
Network Interface Type
This parameter specifies which ethernet interface connector to use. There are two
possible selections:AUI (DB-15), or TPI (RJ-45) 10baseT.
