To select boot mode, select a number and press Enter. The item corresponding to the
selected number toggles from disabled to enabled. If the same number is selected
again, the item toggles from enabled to disabled. If a boot mode is enabled, the Boot
mode selected is performed, and the disabled/enabled selection is reset to disabled.
Following is a description for each boot mode selection:
v Boot to SMS Menu
When enabled, the system boots to the System Management Services (SMS) Menu.
v Service Mode Boot from Saved List
This selection causes the system to boot from the saved service mode boot list
(saved in NVRAM). This is normally used to try to boot customer diagnostics from
the CD-ROM drive. If the system boots AIX from the disk drive and AIX diagnostics
are loaded on the disk drive, AIX boots to the diagnostics menu.
v Service Mode Boot from Default List
This selection is similar to “Service Mode Boot from Saved List”, except the system
boots from the default boot list that is stored in the system firmware.
v Boot to Open Firmware
When this selection is enabled, the system boots to the open firmware prompt.
