boot(8) boot(8)NAME boot - startup procedures DESCRIPTION The system is started in a two-stage process. First, the Macintosh operating system is brought up. If the Startup application has been configured properly, the A/UX Startup shell (see StartupShell(8)) will be started automatically. The Startup shell either launches A/UX automatically or prints a Startup shell prompt. If you get the prompt, typ- ing boot causes the boot sequence to be initiated.
