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.
