UnixWare bare metal Jump Start booting

This feature allows you to boot into the Airbag Menu System without the bare metal CD. This will only work if the airbag has been previously created and the /stand partition is not corrupted. If not booting with the boot CD, start the boot process as normal. As soon as the UnixWare 7 logo is seen, press the SPACEBAR and shortly thereafter the boot command prompt displays. If a non network supported floppy or CD is generated, perform the following commands:

ROOTFS=MEMFS and BOOTPROG=AIRBAG b

// command is followed by the letter b to denote boot

If the network support CD is generated, type the following command:

ROOTFS=MEMFS b

// command is followed by the letter b to denote boot

The following content is an example of how the session will appear. Keep in mind that the string

[boot]

is produced by the computer and indicates the system prompt.

[boot] ROOTFS=MEMFS

[boot] BOOTPROG=AIRBAG

[boot] b

Do not forget the b, this forces a reboot. Boot directly into the Air-Bag Menu System just as if booting from the CD. However, the load time is measured in seconds, not minutes. Perform the desired administration tasks or use the Air-Bag Menu System to fully recover the system.
