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.
