Booting Process Commands
The CPU PROM, primary bootloader, and secondary bootloader support a
separate set of commands at each stage of the boot process. For example, the
following commands at the primary bootloader prompt (lynx$) assign a new
value to the rootdev parameter and instruct the bootloader to bring up the
system in single-user mode (run-level s) overriding the default run level:
lynx$ rootdev=(14/0/1.0.0;0)/stand/vmunix
lynx$ go -is
The following sections describe the commands available at each stage of the boot
process.
NOTE
No commands entered at any of the boot prompts are written to the
CONF file. The modified settings apply to the current session only.
