In addition to the normal BOOT commands and such (see Section 14.3.5.2 for some details) and the normal contents of the console HELP text, operations such as I/O redirection and floppy disk access are possible at the SRM console prompt: 1 Format a FAT floppy, and insert it into the AlphaStation floppy drive. 2 Perform the following at AlphaStation SRM Console : >>> show * > env.dat >>> show conf > conf.dat >>> cat env.dat > fat:env.dat/dva0 >>> cat conf.dat > fat:conf.dat/dva0 3 You may use the SRM “ls” command to display the contents of the floppy. >>> ls fat:env.dat/dva0 >>> ls fat:conf.dat/dva0 4 You can now transfer the FAT-format floppy to another system.
