Hi Awadhesh

I have disconnected the hard disk by pulling out, this time the white narrow ribbon. It was interesting, because it could not find a bootable device. It did not go to the MA> prompt as you suspected/suggested, but it came up with the menu below:

... Main Menu........................
Command
-------------
BOot [PRI | ALT | <path>]
PAth [PRI | ALT | CON | KEY] [<path>]
SEArch [DISPLAY | IPL]
Help .....................
Main menu: Enter command >

I then entered the following command:

Main menu: Enter command > BO
Interact with ILP: (Y, N, Q) Y

Booting ............
Cannot find ENTRY_TEST
Failed to initialise

It looked for the Primary Boot Path, which is FWSCSI.5.0 and the Alternative Boot Path, which FWSCSI.6.0, Obviously, could not find the correct Path and I got the error message �Failed to initialise �and the Main Menu appeared again like one below

... Main Menu........................
Command
-------------
BOot [PRI | ALT | <path>]
PAth [PRI | ALT | CON | KEY] [<path>]
SEArch [DISPLAY | IPL]
Help .....................
Main menu: Enter command >

Having gotten the error message, when I reconnected the white ribbon (hard disc) and turned the power on, it booted with no problem and went all the way to CDE.

I would like to add that, you get the �Main Menu� by pressing the �Esc� key� if you wish to interrupt the Boot Process and as you are aware, I am not able to interrupt the Boot Process when I hit the �Esc� key soon after powering up.

With the information that I have now provided, is there something else that we can try to resolve this?

Once again, many thanks for your time

       generate()
	   This function returns a list of menu items.	Each list item is a hashref: keys %menu_item would return the equivalent of qw(position id
	   level label path args).  Returns the complete list and sets $menu->{menu_items} to a referene to th result set, This function does not
