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.
