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-ux for 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.
