There are times when you want to interact directly with the hardware
of your workstation before it boots the operating system. Your work-
station provides a menu-driven boot console interface that allows
you to perform special tasks, display information, and set certain sys-
tem parameters, even if the operating system is unavailable.
Here are some of the things you can do:
• Boot your workstation
• Search for bootable media
• Reset your workstation
• Display and set boot paths
• Display and set your monitor type
• Display memory configuration information
• Display the status of the EISA slots
• Set auto boot and auto search
• Set fastboot
• Display LAN information
• Display system information
• Display PIM information
NOTICE: All of the tasks in the boot console interface
should be performed by a system administrator.
