Ok i suppose it too but there are a differnce between ISL (the boot loader
for hpux) and palo (for linux) :-)

With 'sea ipl' cmd

Normal ISL is launch by PDC which is the program (into an eeprom on the motherboard;
some kind of pc bios) presenting a 'BOOT_ADMIN>' prompt.
Normaly to obtain this you should reboot your system and interupt the automatic
boot sequence by pressing <esc> key during the boot.
> I suppouse that hpux command from my ISL could boot the CD.
hmm I don't think so because ISL is design to boot hpux kernel onto a hp-fs.
Palo was design to boot linux kernel onto a ext[23]-fs

well you will have a short explanation when you will be at the 'BOOT_ADMIN>';
to be short: sea search for potential boot device (included lan :) ) and
'sea ipl ' search for device with bootable media.
