hpux(1M) hpux(1M)

Although all of the operations and options of hpux can be used from isl interactively, they can also be

executed from an autoexecute ﬁle. In the examples below, user input is the remainder of the line after

each ISL> prompt shown. The remainder of each example is text displayed by the system. Before going

over speciﬁc examples of the various options and operations of hpux, here is an outline of the steps taken

in the automatic boot process. Although the hardware conﬁguration and boot paths shown are for a single

Series 800 machine, the user interfaces are consistent across all models. When the system Reset button is

depressed, pdc executes self-test, and assuming the hardware tests pass, pdc announces itself, sends a

BELL character to the controlling terminal, and gives the user 10 seconds to override the autoboot

sequence by entering any character. Text resembling the following is displayed on the console:

Processor Dependent Code (PDC) revision 1.2

Duplex Console IO Dependent Code (IODC) revision 3

Console path = 56.0.0.0.0.0.0 (dec)

38.0.0.0.0.0.0 (hex)

Primary boot path = 44.3.0.0.0.0.0 (dec)

2c.00000003.0.0.0.0.0 (hex)

Alternate boot path = 52.0.0.0.0.0.0 (dec)

34.0.0.0.0.0.0 (hex)

32 MB of memory configured and tested.

Autosearch for boot path enabled

To override, press any key within 10 seconds.

If no keyboard character is pressed within 10 seconds, pdc commences the autoboot sequence by load-

ing

isl and transferring control to it. Because an autoboot sequence is occurring, isl merely

announces itself, ﬁnds and executes the

autoexecute ﬁle which, on an HP-UX system, requests that

hpux be run with appropriate arguments. The following is displayed on the console.

10 seconds expired.

then announces the operation it is performing, in this case boot, the deviceﬁle from which the load

image comes, and the

TEXT size, DATA size, BSS size, and start address of the load image. The following

is displayed before control is passed to the image.

Finally, the loaded image displays numerous conﬁguration and status messages, then proceeds to init

run-level 2 for multiuser mode of operation.
