4.9 Configuration Notes
This section describes BOF configuration guidelines.
• The loading sequence is based on the order in which the sequence is placed in
the configuration file. It is loaded as it is read during bootup.
Note: Access to a console is only disabled when the TiMOS image is loaded. Console
access remains unchanged during the boot loader stage of the boot up process. That is, the
bof command takes effect only when the node is booted with the TiMOS image.
