Configuring Boot Behavior for Alpha Systems
Whilst playing with my Alpha 600a workstation (Cheers Andres!), I’ve been struggling to find out how to automate booting from the bios (well the alpha version of a bios!).
Well
Show bootdef_dev
will show you the default boot device.
set bootdef_dev
will set it. In my case this is a SCSI device on ID3. so
set bootdef_dev dkc
running ,code>boot now boots from that device. Rather than having to run boot dkc
Now all I just need to do is find out how to make it boot without prompting…!!!
EDIT… Aha!!! when a default boot device is set, it will be booted automatically!! Cool!
