To select a boot device, enter a device name at the system prompt. After you
select a boot device, the system boots from that device. The following example
shows a successful power-up when DIA0 is selected as the boot device. The next
time the system is turned on, it will autoboot from that device.

Changing the Boot Device
After you select a boot device, the system autoboots from that device each time
you turn it on, until you do one of the following.
• Change the setting of the Break Enable/Disable switch to enable (up, position
1). If you do that, the system does not autoboot but enters console mode after
completing self-tests (assuming you did not define a halt action of
REBOOT
or
RESTART_REBOOT
by using the SET HALT console command). Refer to
Section 2.4.2 for instructions on booting from console mode.
• Change the boot device by using the SET BOOT command.
