main boot device for the partition. You also can use the SEARCH command
to find and list potentially bootable devices for the partition.
Step 3. Boot the device using the BCH interface’s BOOT command.
You can issue the BOOT command in any of the following ways:
• BOOT
Issuing the BOOT command with no arguments boots the device at the
primary (PRI) boot path.
• BOOT bootvariable
This command boots the device indicated by the specified boot path,
where bootvariable is the PRI, HAA, or ALT boot path.
For example, BOOT PRI boots the primary boot path.
• BOOT LAN INSTALL or BOOT LAN.ip-address INSTALL
The BOOT... INSTALL commands boot HP-UX from the default
HP-UX install server or from the server specified by ip-address.
• BOOT path
This command boots the device at the specified path.
You can specify the path in HP-UX hardware path notation
(for example, 0/0/2/0/0.13) or in “path label” format (for example,
P0 or P1) .
If you specify the path in “path label” format then path refers to a
device path reported by the last SEARCH command.
After you issue the BOOT command, the BCH interface prompts you to
specify whether you want to stop that the ISL prompt.
