Re: HP 720 workstation boot from CD

[cfj]

Joel, 

I have a graphics console in my workstation. And you?
My autosearch and autoboot ISL's options are OFF. Are there OK?
In front of my console there is some leds. There is a green button with 
label service and a green led too. Is this option has to be on or off?
When I press the TOC button (white) the copyrigth HP company and memory 
test message are showed and then the message selecting a system to boot. is 
showed too. I pressed the ESC key for very long time (10 minutes) and 
nothing :-(
Is there any other keyboard (or combinations of keys) that generate the ESC 
key code? I am not finding the correct time of the PDC boot to generate this 
code. How can I discover this correct time?

Hello, 

I never recieve the BOOT_ADMIN prompt. I pressed the Esc key for very long

time (from power on of machine until ISL> prompt and the BOOT_ADMIN does
not 
appeared.  

Correct me if I am wrong in follow sequence:  

Power On;
Yes, immidiately after press <esc> (continiously)  

Message
on display: Select any device to boot...
If ESC pressed
  BOOT_ADMIN
You should obtain here a small table:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Command                           Description
  -------                           -----------
Auto [boot|search] [on|off]       Display or search auto flags
[..]
Search [ipl] [scsi|lan [install]] Display potential boot devices
[...]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOOT_ADMIN> 

here you are 

My PDC ROM is Rev 2.3 and IODC ROM is Rev 2.2 
I have the same PDC rev 2.3 

When I execute ISL HELP command it shows:  

  a list of commands but not Boot  

  and then the message: Utilities On this system are:  

  FS ..................
  HPUX ................
  ODE .................
  ISL> 
Definitively ISL is a step too far. 

How can I boot the Debian CD with this system? 
Try again it would works, 

Joel
