There are times when you want to interact directly with the hardware
of your workstation before it boots the operating system. Your work-
station provides a menu-driven boot console interface that allows
you to perform special tasks, display information, and set certain sys-
tem parameters, even if the operating system is unavailable.

Here are some of the things you can do:

Boot your workstation

Search for bootable media

Reset your workstation

Display and set boot paths

Display and set your monitor type

Display memory configuration information

Display the status of the EISA slots

Set auto boot and auto search

Set fastboot

Display LAN information

Display system information

Display PIM information

NOTICE:

All of the tasks in the boot console interface
should be performed by a system administrator.
