Introduction to the AlphaBIOS Console
3-4 AlphaServer 1000/1000A Supplement
After memory is tested, AlphaBIOS detects and initializes SCSI disk controllers
connected to the computer. As each controller is detected, AlphaBIOS probes its
SCSI bus and reports each of the SCSI devices detected.
Finally, after the SCSI initialization is complete, AlphaBIOS leaves the
initialization window and displays the Boot menu, shown in Figure 3-1. Whenever
you turn on or reset your system, the Boot menu is displayed.
