4. If you know the exact path of your CD-ROM or tape drive you may directly boot from
there entering e.g. the command:
boot 0/0/1/0.1
5. If you plan to boot from an Ignite/UX installation server you need to know the IP address
of that server. Boot from there entering e.g. the command:
boot lan.15.140.11.156 install
6. Otherwise you may first search for potential boot devices unsing the SEA command. The
system presents you a listing like the following:
Searching for potential boot devices.
To discontinue search, press any key (termination may not be immediate).
Path# Device Path (dec) Device Path (mnem) Device Type
----- ----------------- ------------------ -----------
P0 0/0/0/0 lan.15.140.10.113 LAN Module
P1 0/0/1/0.6 extscsi.6 Random access media
P2 0/0/1/0.3 extscsi.3 Sequential access media
P3 0/0/1/0.1 extscsi.1 Random access media
P4 0/0/1/1.0 intscsib.0 Random access media
P5 0/0/2/0.0 intscsia.0 Random access media
Now you are able to boot using the Path#, e.g. using the command boot p3. The system
console will prompt a message similar to the following:
Interact with IPL (Y, N, or Cancel)?>
On V-Class systems no ISL interaction is possible. Instead the system starts to boot
immediately after entering the boot command.
7. Enter n at the prompt. Only with old-fashioned Support CDs you have to answer y. If the
system reaches the ISL> prompt enter 800SUPPORT or 700SUPPORT respectively. The
system starts to boot.
