2.Determine what devices your system has installed. In particular you will need to note your installation device (a floppy and/or CD-ROM), and your target disk drive. Entering the command "show devices" as shown below will print out the information about your system:

P00>>>show dev
dka0.0.0.4.1	DKA0		RZ2ED-LS	0306
dka100.1.0.4.1	DKA100		RZ2DD-LS	0306
dka200.2.0.4.1	DKA200		RZ2DD-LS	0306
dka300.3.0.4.1	DKA300		RZ2DD-LS	0306
dqa0.0.0.15.0	DQA0	COMPAQ	CDR-8435	0013
dva0.0.0.1000.0	DVA0
ewa0.0.0.6.1	EWA0	08-00-2B-C4-56-8E
pka0.7.0.4.1	PKA0	SCSI	Bus ID 7

In the output above, the first line shows that DKA0 is a hard disk, DQA0 is a CD-ROM, and DVA0 is a floppy drive.

Also useful for inspecting the computer configuration is the "show config" command, as shown here:

P00>>>show config more
