Table 3-3: Boot Devices
You can boot the IRIS from any attached device through the PROM monitor,
regardless of the settings of switches 1 through 4. See Table 3-2 for a listing of
the PROM monitor commands.
The examples below show how to boot from various devices using the PROM
monitor. Table 3-3 lists the available device names. In all of the examples, if you
enter a device name but no filename, the IRIS looks for a file with the name
defaultboot on the specified device. If you enter only a device or filename, or
both, with no specific PROM monitor command, the IRIS tries to boot from the
specified device and file.
