SYSCFG 29
--bootseq numerical list,
separated by
commas
or
list of device
names,
separated by
commas
Enables, disables, and orders the
devices in a boot order list. Only the
devices present on the system are
listed in the bootseq.
Without an argument, this option
prints the boot order list. The
argument must be formatted as a
comma-separated numerical list with
no spaces. The list must be within the
bounds of the current boot list, that
is, the low and high numbers must
match, and the same number of
entries must be supplied. Systems
that use a numerical list for boot
order cannot be replicated.
Some systems also allow the boot
order to be expressed as a list of
device names. Device names are
formatted as a name.location.instance
string, where name is the name of the
device, location is either slot or
embedded (emb), and instance is the
numerical position of the device.
Some device name examples are
shown below. Systems that support a
list of device names for boot order can
be replicated.
