Operation 3-9

Linux Systems

If aboot.conf contains (0: 1/vmlinux.gz ro root=/dev/sda2), the system can be
booted by one of the following methods:

1.

set boot_file
set boot_osflags 0
boot dkb0

---or---

2.

boot dkb0 -file "" -flags 0

---or---

3.

set boot_file 1/vmlinuz.gz
set boot_osflags "ro root=/dev/sda2"
boot dkb0

Example

Single-user mode is typically used for troubleshooting. To make system changes
at this run level, you must have read/write privileges. The command to boot
Linux into single-user mode is similar to the following example where “f” root is
in partition 2 of dka0, and the kernel is in /boot/Compaq.gz.

P00>>> boot –file “l/vmlinux.gz” –flags “root=/dev/sda2 rw single”

Example

The following command sets the boot_osflags environment variable for Linux:

P00>>> set boot_osflags 0
