7–6 Alpha SRM Console Firmware

Basic Alpha SRM Console Command Descriptions

Description

The boot command initializes the processor, loads a program image

from the specified boot device, and transfers control to that image. If

you do not specify a boot device in the command line, the default

boot device is used. The default boot device is determined by the

value of the bootdef_dev environment variable.

If you specify a list of devices, a bootstrap is attempted from each

device in the order in which the device is li sted. Then control passes

to the first successfully booted image. In a list, always enter network

devices last because network bootstraps terminate only if a fa tal er ror

occurs or if an image is successfully loaded.

The -flags option can pass additional information to the operating

system about the boot that you are requesting. On an OpenVMS

system, the -flags option specifies the system root number and

boot flags. If you do not specify a boot flag qualifier, the defaul t boot

flag’s value specified by the boot_osflags environment variable is

used.

The -protocols option allows selection of either the DECnet

MOP or the TCP/IP BOOTP network protocols. The keywords mop

and bootp are valid arguments for this option. It is possible to set the

default protocol for a port by setting the environment variable

ewa0_protocols or era0_protocols to the appropriate protocol.

Explicitly stating the boot flags or the boot device overrides the

current default value for the current boot request, but does not ch ange

the corresponding environment variable.

See the Environment Variables for Alpha SRM Console Commands

section in this chapter for more information about environment

variables.
