Conﬁguring the Boot ROM

The boot ROM has three conﬁgurable areas:

• Boot mode

• I/O interfaces

• Auto System Select mode

All three areas are explained in further detail in the following sections.

Boot Mode Selection

The boot mode selection deﬁnes whether an “HP-UX Compatible” or “Domain

Compatible” operating system can boot. You must set the boot mode to match the

type of operating system you are going to boot (HP-UX or Domain/OS). You set

the boot mode from the Boot Mode Selection menu.

If you have not booted the system before, the Conﬁguration Control menu will au-

tomatically appear (Figure 3-1). Select Boot Mode Selection by typing

2 < Return > and you will see the Boot Mode Selection menu (Figure 3-2).

If you have booted the system before, type C < Return > after the

HP-HIL.keyboard message appears on the screen. The Conﬁguration Control menu

appears (Figure 3-1). Select Boot Mode Selection by typing 2 < Return >

and you will see the Boot Mode Selection menu (Figure 3-2).
