If you do not press a key to interrupt the sequence, the system displays messages as it automatically boots the

processor and operating system.

The autoboot flag setting determines whether the system searches for an autoexecute file with which to boot

the operating system automatically.

NOTE If an autobooting system cannot locate a valid autoexecute file, it boots to ISL; therefore, you

see the statement Cannot find an autoexecute file. AUTOBOOT ABORTED. This does not

present any problems; just continue with the START command in ISL.

NOTE Disabling and enabling autoboot is explained in Chapter 3, “System Startup Functions.”
