Searching for Bootable Media
To list all devices that may contain bootable media, go
to the Main Menu of the Boot Console Interface and
then type the following at the prompt:
search ipl
The search may turn up more devices than there are
lines on the display. If using a text terminal, control
the progress of the search from the terminal’s key-
board by performing the following steps:
• To hold the display temporarily, press Ctrl S
• To continue the display, press Ctrl Q
• To halt the search, press Esc
These flow-control commands do not work with a
bitmapped display, but such a display can show more
than forty lines of text, so they are unnecessary.
To search for devices of just one type that actually con-
tain bootable media, go to the Main Menu of the Boot
Console Interface and then type the following at the
prompt:
search ipl device_type
where device_type is one of the values listed in the fol-
lowing table:
Table 11 Bootable Device Types
C100/110
C160l/160/180/
200/240
