There are times when you want to interact directly with the hardware
of your workstation before it boots the operating system. Your work-
station provides a menu-driven boot console interface that allows
you to perform special tasks, display information, and set certain sys-
tem parameters, even if the operating system is unavailable.
Here are some of the things you can do:
•Boot your workstation
•Search for bootable media
•Reset your workstation
•Display and set boot paths
•Display and set your monitor type
•Display memory configuration information
•Display the status of the EISA slots
•Set auto boot and auto search
•Set fastboot
•Display LAN information
•Display system information
•Display PIM information
NOTICE: All of the tasks in the boot console interface
should be performed by a system administrator.
