An N-Class system was used in example 2-6. Other HP e3000 systems perform similarly,
although their boot paths may be different from the example shown. For an explanation of
boot error codes, refer to MPE/iX Error Message Manual Volumes I, II, and III.
The message Interact with IPL (Y or N)? gives you an additional chance to autoboot
even if you previously indicated an autoboot override (or have autoboot disabled).
Answering NO to the Interact message returns the system to attempt an autoboot.
Interactively Booting the System with Autoboot Disabled
Interactively booting the system with autoboot disabled allows you to select a particular
boot path or to activate ISL from the keyboard.
The initial interactive sequence is similar to the initial autoboot sequence, except in the
interactive sequence, the system does not prompt the user with the option to override the
process. Example 2-7 demonstrates the interactive boot sequence for an N-Class system.
The screen display may contain a different boot path and additional information,
depending on the system you are using.
