On a PA-RISC system
Similarly, if the administrator has issued the command in
Figure 2 on a PA-RISC system and wants to
boot the clone, the boot can be interrupted when the following messages are issued: “Processor
is booting from first available device. To discontinue, press any key
within 10 seconds.” The administrator can then enter “BO ALT” when the menu in
Figure 4 is
displayed.
