2. Determine what devices your system has installed. In particular you will need to note your 
installation device (a floppy and/or CD-ROM), and your target disk drive. Entering the 
command "show devices" as shown below will print out the information about your system: 
P00>>>show dev 
dka0.0.0.4.1 DKA0 RZ2ED-LS 0306 
dka100.1.0.4.1 DKA100 RZ2DD-LS 0306 
dka200.2.0.4.1 DKA200 RZ2DD-LS 0306 
dka300.3.0.4.1 DKA300 RZ2DD-LS 0306 
dqa0.0.0.15.0 DQA0 COMPAQ CDR-8435 0013  
dva0.0.0.1000.0 DVA0  
ewa0.0.0.6.1 EWA0 08-00-2B-C4-56-8E 
pka0.7.0.4.1 PKA0 SCSI Bus ID 7 
In the output above, the first line shows that DKA0 is a hard disk, DQA0 is a CD-ROM, and 
DVA0 is a floppy drive. 
Also useful for inspecting the computer configuration is the "show config" command, as 
shown here: 
P00>>>show config | more
