NAME
     auto - initiate operating system autoboot sequence

SYNOPSIS
     auto

DESCRIPTION
     The PROM Monitor auto command initiates the two-level
     operating system autoboot sequence.  Once initiated, this
     sequence waits for about 20 seconds.  During this delay, you
     can abort the autoboot sequence by typing a CONTROL-C on the
     console or you can speed the boot process by pressing the
     ENTER key on the keyboard.  When the delay expires, the pro-
     gram specified by the PROM Monitor environment variable
     bootfile is loaded and passed the current environment.
