The power-up display shows the results of power-on self-test (POST).

AlphaServer DS20L systems may have various options that will cause the
power-up display to differ slightly from the sample shown here.

Testing begins after pressing the On/Off button, and screen text similar to that
in Example 3–1 displays.

The SRM console banner and prompt P00>>> are printed.
The SRM console is a command-line interface you use to set or read system
parameters.

If the auto_action environment variable is set to boot or restart and the
os_type environment variable is set to unix, the system will automatically
boot the Tru64 UNIX operating system and not halt at the SRM console
(assuming a bootable Tru64 UNIX disk is available and boot parameters
are properly set) Refer to Section 3.2.1 for details.
