2.3.3 Using Console Commands to Boot
If you program Flash RAM with a nonstandard boot image name and a load host is
not available, pressing the reset-to-factory button may leave the DECserver unboot-
able. A nonstandard boot image name is any name other than MNENG2. To allow
booting of a nonstandard boot image name, perform the following steps:
1. During the boot sequence of the DECserver 90M initialization process, press
Ctrl/B two times consecutively.
Ctrl/B Ctrl/B
The boot process stops and the DECserver returns the following console prompt:
>>>
2. At the >>> prompt, you can enter H to invoke help.
Entering H provides minimal help text to describe the interactive boot mode
commands available. Table 2–2 lists the boot mode commands and summa-
rizes the help text that displays when you invoke H.
