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