Summary

Task

•

NOTE:

Only supported on PA-RISC systems.

• BCH Menu: issue the

BOOT

command and reply

(for "yes") to the

Do you wish

to stop at the ISL prompt

question.

See

“Booting to the HP-UX Initial System Loader (ISL)” (page 149)

“Booting to the HP-UX
Initial System Loader
(ISL)”

•

NOTE:

Only supported on HP Integrity servers.

• EFI Shell or EFI Boot Manager: start booting HP-UX and type any key to interrupt the

boot process, stopping it at the HP-UX Boot Loader prompt (

HPUX>

See

“Booting to the HP-UX Loader (HPUX.EFI)” (page 150)

“Booting to the HP-UX
Loader (HPUX.EFI)”

• BCH Menu: boot to the Initial System Loader prompt (

ISL>

), and from ISL issue

HP-UX loader commands in the following form:

hpux

command

For example: enter

hpux ls

to issue the

command.

• EFI Shell or EFI Boot Manager: boot to the HP-UX Boot Loader prompt (

HPUX>

), and

issue HP-UX loader commands directly.

For example: enter

to issue the

command.

See

“Using HP-UX Loader Commands” (page 151)

“Using HP-UX Loader
Commands”

•

NOTE:

Only supported on HP Integrity servers.

• EFI Shell or EFI Boot Manager: start booting Linux and type any key to interrupt the

boot process, stopping it at the ELILO Linux Loader prompt ("

ELILO boot

").

See

“Booting to the Linux Loader (ELILO.EFI)” (page 152)

“Booting to the Linux
Loader (ELILO.EFI)”

•

NOTE:

Only supported on HP Integrity servers.

• EFI Shell or EFI Boot Manager: boot to the ELILO Linux Loader prompt ("

ELILO

boot

") and issue loader commands directly.

See

“Using Linux Loader (ELILO) Commands” (page 154)

“Using Linux Loader
(ELILO) Commands”

• BCH Menu:

PATH

command.

• EFI Boot Manager: use

Boot Option Maintenance

operations to add or delete boot

options, or to change the order of items in the boot options list.

• EFI Shell:

bcfg

command for HP-UX options.

For example:

bcfg boot dump

to list all boot options, or

help bcfg

for details

setting and reordering boot options list items.

For Windows boot options, use the

MSUtil\nvrboot.efi

utility.

• HP-UX:

/usr/sbin/setboot

/usr/sbin/parmodify

command. On HP Integrity

systems, only the boot options list for the local nPartition may be displayed and
modified.
