[comp.sys.hp] boot from within pascal 2.1 on series 200

scowles@lll-lcc.UUCP (Sid Cowles) (04/26/89)

am i imagining things, or isn't there a way to warm boot from
within the pascal workstation (2.1)?  wasn't there something one
could type from within the debugger to get a boot?  did it appear
in the communicator long ago, maybe?  any memories would be most
appreciated.  thanks,
sid

I don't read this group that often, but a comrade clued me to the question.

Yep. From the debugger, type

sb

Make sure it's lower case (hold shift key while typing)

then hit return (new kbds) or enter (old kbd).

The 3.22 version of Pascal also allows you to specify what system to reboot 
to, but I won't try to describe that here.

  Yes, indeed there is. I think if you type 'sb' to the debugger prompt
  (system-boot), the system will reboot. NB it has to be in lower-case.
  This certainly works for Pascal 3.0, I assume it does for 2.1 too.

Try "sb"
