Troubleshooting System Boot Failure
During the setting of IP address or inadvertent system corruption, incorrect
boot parameters may be entered and system operation is jeopardized.
Correct information is essential for full functionality. If you are uncertain
about current boot parameters, halting the system during boot up and
entering a "c" at the [VxWorks Boot]: prompt will allow access to the
required information. In most cases a system reboot is unnecessary
because the incorrect boot parameters cause the system to be in constant
reboot mode. Note: All parameters must be entered in lowercase. If you
make a mistake during entry, press enter for each paramater until you pass
the last one, and then press “c” to start over. (There is no backspace
option.)
NOTE: The IP addresses used here are examples only and your
network address should match your local environment.

Note 1: “ata=auto” means that the system will try to boot from the front
flash card first.
“ata=no auto” means that the system will bypass the front flash card and
boot from the internal flash card or hard drive only.
