IRIS OWNER’S GUIDE 3-7 Booting the IRIS
The IRIS terminal boots into the terminal emulator program. For more
information on IRIS terminal operation, see Chapter 5.
The IRIS workstation boots into single-user mode, which should be used only
for system maintenance. For normal operation, the workstation must be put
into multi-user mode. The multi command initiates the process of putting the
workstation into multi-user mode. The details of the procedure are controlled
by the file /etc/rc, which contains commands tor starting daemons and
mounting file systems. For more information, see brc(1).
1. To enter multi-user mode, enter the multi command:
multi
2. If the /etc/model file becomes corrupted, the system prompts for the
model number, writing the response to /etc/model.
3. The workstation asks to run the Un i x lesystemcheckprogramfsck.
Do you want to check filesystem consistency? (y or n)
If you answer yes, the file systems are checked with the fsck
program. Only answer no if the system has been shut down with the
reboot command, as described in Section 4.1. Even then, you are
advised to run fsck occasionally.
If fsck is run and finds no problems, it displays one line for each
test. If fsck finds any problems, it prompts for permission to repair
the file system. See the Un i x Programmer’s Manual for more
information on fsck.
4. Enter the correct date using the specified format:
Enter the correct date (mmddhhmm[.ss][yy]):07210830.3389
Is the date Wed July 21 08:30:33 PST 1989? (y or n) y
In the example above, the characters mmddhhmm.ssyy represent
month-day-hour-minute-seconds-year. The seconds and the year are
optional. The entry above sets the date to 33 seconds past 8:30 a.m.
on July 21, 1989.
The system now performs initializations required tor multi-user
mode. Once multi-user mode has been started, a login prompt
appears:
