I'm new with Digital UNIX and just got a new Compaq Tru64 UNIX system.
Upon power up, the system just booted from DISK and booted to MULTI-user level.
Currently, I cannot login at multi-user level due to some configured problems.
If I have the system prompt; I can use ">>> boot -fl s "to boot single user;
then I can correct the problems.
I cannot use "shutdown" because I cannot login right now.
I need to have the system prompt (>>>) upon power-up somehow.
As in other platform, I can type some keys like "L1-a" or "Stop-a" upon power-up to get to the system prompt.
Q. How can I get the system prompt (>>>) upon power up ?
- It seems like the system was configured to boot from the disk and boot to multi-user level already.
I tried a numbers of combinations of key-strokes like ESC and Break but it didn't work.
- Yes, I did check a few years worth of alpha-osf-managers archive Q&A ; but couldn't find the answer yet.
Please cc to me ; just in case my subscription to this mailing list has any problem.
Thanks a lot,
