SCSI address 00. This information is required later in the procedure.
(In the example shown above, the drive is a SEAGATE ST3283N.)

24-hour clock format, minute, yearÑnote that the time should be

ATTENTION
During the installation or start-up of BOS, different characters than
usual represent the character delete, line delete, and interrupt functions.
During these operations,
¥ character delete (backspace), usually [Control-h], is [#]
¥ line delete, usually [Control-u], is [@]
¥ interrupt, usually [Control-c], is Delete
If you make a mistake entering the date, use [#] to delete characters.
If you press [Delete], a Ò#Ó prompt appears; press [Control-d] to return
to where you were.
16 You are prompted to confirm the date you entered. Type y and press
[Return].
If the date is not correct, type n and press [Return]. You are then
prompted to enter the date, as in step 15.
When you enter the date successfully and respond y to the prompt,
the BOS software management menu appears (Figure 185).
