Example 6–3 shows a boot from a local SCSI drive. The example is abbreviated. For complete instructions on booting Tru64 UNIX, see the Tru64 UNIX Installation Guide.

Perform the following tasks to boot a system:

1.Power up the system. The system stops at the SRM console prompt, P00>>>.

2.Set boot environment variables, if desired. See Section 6.2.

3.Install the boot medium. For a network boot, see Section 6.3.1.

4.Enter the show device command ➊ to determine the unit number of the drive for your device.

5.Enter the boot command ➋ and command-line parameters (if you have not set the associated environment variables). In Example 6–3, boot device and boot flags ➌ have already been set.
