of your workstation before it boots the operating system. Your
workstation provides a menu–driven boot console interface that al-
lows you to perform special tasks, display information, and set certain
system 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

NOTICE:

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

The boot console menus follow, showing the various tasks you can
perform and the information available.
