===== HP 9000 Boot Device =====

==== Preface ====
The HP 9000 offers the option to boot from a device other than the default SCSI device in the boot administration menu. This is particularly useful if you want to boot a different operating system from an external drive or from a ZulusCSI with multiple disk images.

==== Change Boot SCSI ID ====
Interrupt the boot process with <ESC> to access the boot administration menu.

=== search SCSI Devices ====
<code>
BOOT_ADMIN> search scsi
</code>

If you want to boot from the device with ID 5, simply enter:
<code>
BOOT_ADMIN> boot scsi.5.0
</code>

You can save the default boot SCSI ID with the following command.
<code>
BOOT_ADMIN> path pri scsi.5.0
</code>
And show the configured device path:
<code>
BOOT_ADMIN> path
</code>
