Step 2: Initial System Loader (ISL)
The PDC now looks for a LIF header on the device and - if it finds one - it looks in the LIF
header for where the ISL starts. A typical LIF header residing at the start of a LVM boot disk
looks like this:
# lifls -l /dev/rdsk/c1t6d0
volume ISL10 data size 7984 directory size 8
filename type start size implement created
