Boot Prompt Commands

Boot prompt commands enable you to perform basic tasks, including booting a system image file, from the boot prompt (boot>). A CLI session enters the boot prompt if WSS Software does not boot successfully or you intentionally interrupt the boot process. To interrupt the boot process, press q followed by Enter (return).

Caution! Generally, boot prompt commands are used only for troubleshooting. Nortel recommends that you use these commands only when working with Nortel to diagnose a system issue. In particular, commands that change boot parameters can interfere with an WSS’s ability to boot successfully.

This chapter presents boot prompt commands alphabetically. Use the following table to locate commands in this chapter based on their use.
