Booting the New System Disk  

Preparing to Boot the New System Disk  

Before you boot the new system disk, you must do the following:

1. Halt the system by entering Ctrl/P or by pressing the Halt button. For more information about halting your Alpha computer, see Halt, Boot, and Shutdown Procedures.
2. At the console prompt (>>>), enter the SET BOOTDEF_DEV command in the following format:
   
   SET BOOTDEF_DEV target-drive
   
   Substitute the device name of the system disk for target-drive. The SET BOOTDEF_DEV command tells the system which disk to boot from. For example, if the system disk has the device name DKA400, enter the following command and press the Return key:

   >>> SET BOOTDEF_DEV DKA400

   If the system disk is connected to a hierarchical storage device (HSx), the format for specifying that drive is different. For example, on a DEC 7000 series system connected to an HSC device, the command is similar to the following:

   >>> SET BOOTDEF_DEV DUA20.14.0.2.0

   For more information about setting and showing the default boot device, see Halt, Boot, and Shutdown Procedures .

How to Boot the New System Disk  

To boot the system disk, enter the following command and press the Return key:

>>> BOOT -FLAGS 0,0
