The Boot Console Interface

Booting Your Workstation

Answering yes (y) causes the ISL to be loaded from the speciﬁed device. After a short time, the following prompt appears on your screen:

ISL>

ISL is the program that actually controls the loading of the operating system. By interacting with ISL, you can choose to load an alternate version of the HP-UX operating system. If you do not want ISL to be loaded, you must enter NO.

For example, if the usual kernel (/hp-uxfor 9.05, and /stand/vmunix for 10.0) on your root disk (fwscsi.6.0) has become corrupted, and you wish to boot your workstation from the backup kernel (/SYSBCKUP for 9.05, and /stand/vmu- nix.prev for 10.0), type the following at the ISL> prompt:

ISL> hpux /SYSBCKUP (for 9.05)

ISL> hpux /stand/vmunix.prev (for 10.0)

•If you do not know which media in your ﬁle systems have bootable oper- ating systems, you can ﬁnd them with the search IPL command.
