From the partition console you access the partition’s BCH interface. If
the partition is not at the BCH interface you must either boot the
partition or shut down HP-UX to return to the BCH interface.
Step 2. Access the BCH menu that provides the information you want to list.
The BCH interface’s Main menu, the Information menu, and the
Configuration menu provide commands for listing (and setting) boot
options for the partition.
Use the following list to determine which BCH menu and command
provides the boot information that interests you.
• BCH Main menu
If you are at one of the other BCH menus, enter MA to return to the
BCH interface’s Main menu.
• BCH Configuration menu
From the BCH main menu, enter CO to access the Configuration
menu.
