The Boot Console Interface

Booting Your Computer

For example, if the usual kernel (/stand/vmunix) on your root disk (fwscsi.6.0) has become corrupted, and you wish to boot your computer from the backup kernel (/stand/vmunix.prev), type the following at the ISL> prompt and press Enter:

ISL> hpux /stand/vmunix.prev

If you do not know which media in your file systems have bootable operating systems, you can find them with the search ipl command. See the subsequent section “Searching for Bootable Media.”
