Booting the Workstation
Usually,you start your workstation in Normal Mo de by turning it on and
waiting for HP-UX to b o ot automatically.However, you may not want the

damaged or unusable, you may wish to bo ot from a dierent disk or p erhaps
another type of device, such as a DDS-format tape drive.
