Restarting the System

Network Auto Boot is controlled by parameters contained in the NIOT and ENV commands. These parameters allow:

Selection of specific boot devices

Selection of systems

Selection of files

Programming of the Boot delay

Refer to the ENV and NIOT commands in the Commands Table in this Appendix for more details. Also refer to the ENV parameters in Appendix D.

Restarting the System

You can initialize the system to a known state in three different ways:

Reset

Abort

Break

Each has characteristics which make it more appropriate than the others in certain situations.

The debugger has a special feature upon a reset condition. This feature is activated by depressing the RESET and ABORT switches at the same time. This feature instructs the debugger to use the default setup/operation parameters in ROM versus your setup/operation parameters in NVRAM. This feature can be used in the event your setup/operation parameters are corrupted or fail to pass a sanity check.
