Select Software: If supported by the operating system, this option shows the names
of the operating system installed. This option may not be supported by all operating
systems.
In the case of AIX this is a supported option, if you receive a message saying that:
No Operating System Installed
this would mean that information in non-volatile storage could have been lost, as
would happen if the battery had been removed. In order to recreate this value, issue
the
bootlist
command under AIX with the appropriate parameters as to the location
of the operating system in a particular hard disk. Please see the explanation of the
bootlist command in your AIX documentation.
Software Default: If supported by the operating system, lets you select the default
operating system to start the system. This option may not be supported by all
operating systems.
