The default boot sequence is:
1. Diskette
2. CD-ROM
3. Hard file
4. Tape drive (if installed)
5. Network
a. Token ring
b. Ethernet
6 Key
The numeric 6 key works like the numeric 5 key, except that firmware uses the customized service mode
bootlist that was set up in System Management Services or in the AIX service aids.
8 Key
To enter the open firmware command line, press the numeric 8 key after the word keyboard displays and
before the last word (speaker) displays during startup. After you press the 8 key, the remaining POST
indicators display until initialization completes.
When initialization and POST are complete, the open firmware command line (an OK prompt) displays.
Use the open firmware command line to set up adapters that are not configurable with the System
Management Services. Your adapter documentation directs you to use this option if it is needed.
To exit from the open firmware command prompt, type reset-all or power off the system and reboot.
