Boot Sequence setup

Pantxo · Feb 2, 2000

New user of Unix trying to install new Tru64 ver 5 on old system from scratch. Wondering how to set the boot sequence to halt in order to always start with the >>> prompt and not get into the OS.

All you have to do is get to the >>> prompt and then<br>     set auto_action HALT<br>That will cause the system to go to the >>> prompt when reset or power-cycled.

There are diffrent values to the "auto_action" Prameter.
You should only use these:

set auto_action boot
set auto_action halt

l8ter!
