Initially, to enter A/UX Startup you must cancel the startup process for A/UX. Once in the A/UX Startup shell, you see a command line prompt. The default prompt is "startup#".
To boot the system from here, pull down the "Execute" menu and select "Boot". This will launch the A/UX boot program. You can also type "launch" on the command line and press Return.
To have the Macintosh operating system automatically boot A/UX on machine startup, pull down the "Preferences" menu and select "Booting...". Place an "X" in front of the option that says "Automatically Boot at startup". Then click "OK".
Refer to the A/UX Local System Administration manual chapter on System Startup and Shutdown for more information.
