Booting Digital UNIX or OpenVMS Alpha Operating Systems
The operating system, if supplied, is installed on the system disk.
•
For more information on preinstalled Digital UNIX software, see the Digital UNIX
Factory Installed Software user information card.
•
For more information on preinstalled OpenVMS Alpha software, see the OpenVMS
Alpha Factory Installed Software user information card.
When the system is shipped with Digital UNIX or OpenVMS Alpha software installed, the
system default settings cause the system to boot from the system disk automatically after it
successfully completes the startup tests. You can change these settings if, for example, you
want the system to halt at the console prompt (>>>) after it completes the startup tests.
Digital UNIX and OpenVMS Alpha System Defaults
The Digital UNIX and OpenVMS Alpha operating systems use default settings to tell the
system where the operating system is located and how to boot the system. When the
system is shipped, these default settings cause the system to boot from the system disk.
You can set different default settings if, for example, you want to boot the operating
system from a different device. See "set" in Table 4–1, "Basic SRM Console Commands."
