Boot interaction (post 5)
Hi Awadhesh,
Thanks for your response on "power recycle". But in my message I was more concerned with the correctness of the sequence after finding out how to physically disconnect the bootable device.
Although, I am thankful for the response from you and all others, but I still do not know where to look in main tray assembly or in storage tray assembly and disconnect the Hard disk, if this is, what to be done in order to get to MA> prompt as you are suggesting.
As I mentioned, I my firs thread, I am new with HP-UX and therefore I am having this difficulty. I feel, I only can resolve this to get a set of instruction (step by step approach) indicating exactly where to look and what to do. Is it possible that you provide me with the instruction? I have already checked the Esc Key. It is fine.
Well, thanks again for responding to my mail and I look forward to hearing from you again hopefully this time with a set of instructions that would help me resolving this problem.
Cheers
M.H

DISKTAB(5) BSD File Formats Manual DISKTAB(5)
NAME
disktab -- disk description file
SYNOPSIS
#include <disklabel.h>
DESCRIPTION
Disktab is a simple database which describes disk geometries and disk partition characteristics. It is used to initialize the disk label on
the disk. The format is patterned after the termcap(5) terminal data base. Entries in disktab consist of a number of `:'-separated fields.
The first field for each entry gives the names by which a disk's entry may be selected, separated by `|' characters. The last name given
should be a long name fully identifying the disk.
The optional fields for each entry are:
