Installing HP-UX
Booting from Media (All Series)
1. When you have chosen your boot device and entered the boot
command, a connection will be established with the boot device. It is
common that the Alternate Boot Device is set to an external
CD-ROM. If this is your case, you can simply use the following
command:
bo alt
2. If you want to search for available boot devices, type: search (or the
appropriate abbreviated command, as shown).
A typical output might look like the following

such as "56/52.0", in place of the path number.
