4.2.1
Entering the Setup Menu/Command Line
During normal boot, you can abort the booting process in different ways during the
self-test:
• Press the "s" key to enter the Setup Menu.
• Press "ESC" to enter the command line.
By default, the self-test is not left until 3 seconds have elapsed (measured from the
beginning of the self-test), even if the actual test has finished earlier, to give the user
a chance to abort booting and enter the Setup Menu.
4.3
Configuring MENMON for Automatic Boot
You can configure how MENMON boots the operating system either through the
Setup Menu or through the command line.
In the Basic Setup Menu you can select the boot sequence for the bootable devices
on the A14C. The selected sequence is stored in system parameter
mmstartup
as a
string of MENMON commands. For example, if the user selects: "Int. CF, Ether,
(None)", the
mmstartup
string will be set to "DBOOT 0; NBOOT TFTP".
You can view and modify this string directly, using the Expert Setup Menu, option
Startup string
, or through the command-line command
EE-MMSTARTUP
.
