The Select Software option shows the names of the operating system installed. This
option may not be supported by all operating systems.
In the case of AIX, this is a supported option if you receive a message saying:
No Operating System Installed
information in non-volatile storage could have been lost, as would happen if the
battery had been removed. In order to recreate this value issue the bootlist
command under AIX with the appropriate parameters as to the location of the oper-
ating system in a particular hard disk. Please see the explanation of the bootlist
command in your AIX documentation for more information.
The Software Default option lets you select the default operating system to start the
system. This option may not be supported by all operating systems.
The Install From option produces a list of devices, for example the CD-ROM, where
the operating system is installed from. You select one of the devices and the system
searches the device for an operating system to install and,if supported by the oper-
ating system in that device, the name of the operating system displays.
The Select Boot Devices option provides a list of devices that can be selected to be
stored on the boot list. Up to five devices are supported.
The OK prompt provides access to the Open Firmware command prompt.
