Troubleshooting 4–13
Dealing with a Boot Failure
If the workstation’s usual boot device (typically a disk) is not responding as it should,
you must attempt to boot from the disk (or another boot device) by selecting it manu-
ally.
To boot a device manually, follow these steps:
1.
Turn off the power to the workstation, wait a few seconds, then turn the power
back on.
2.
Press and hold
Esc
as soon as the following message appears:
Selecting a system to boot.
To stop selection process, press and hold the ESCAPE
key.
Release
Esc
as soon as this message appears:
Selection process stopped.
A short time later, this message appears:
Searching for potential boot devices.
To terminate search, press and hold the ESCAPE key.
The workstation is now searching for devices that may hold file systems from
which it can boot HP–UX. As they are found, they appear in a list, similar to
the following sample list:
Device Selection Device Path Device Type
––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
P0 scsi.6.0 QUANTUM LPS525S
P1 scsi.5.0 QUANTUM LPS525S
P2 scsi.2.0 TOSHIBA CD–ROM DRIVE
This process may take several minutes. You can terminate the search at any
time by pressing
Esc
