BOOTING QUIKSTOR
Whether you repartition the drive or not, BOOTing is the same. If your computer SASI host
adapter card has its switch set for binary 15 (all l's), booting off the H67 device will cause the
partition/boot table to be read in from the Winchester boot track and appear on the console.
Simply enter the partition number you want to BOOT from, and hit the 'BLUE' key. The system will
now boot the desired partition. If the computer SASI host adapter card has its switch for any
valid boot partition number (again, in binary), that partition will automatically boot upon
selection of the '67 device, bypassing the table. Remember, under HDOS you must type SPACES the
first time through after SYSGENing the partition. Under CP/M you may also have to type SPACES
if you are set for auto CONFIGUR the first time through and on an H8 computer.
These conveniences have been provided to allow you to quickly bring up your unit and see it
operate. You may at any time change any or all of the partitions, INIT or FORMAT, and SYSGEN
or PUTSYS those you want BOOTable and you'll be all set to go.
