You may leave the list at any time by sending a "SIGNOFF AIX-L" command to
LISTSERV@PUCC.PRINCETON.EDU
However, if you are just going on vacation, rather than unsubscribing you
could send a "SET AIX-L NOMAIL" command to LISTSERV@PUCC.PRINCETON.EDU. This
will turn off mail until you send a "SET AIX-L MAIL" command.

# bootlist -m normal hdisk0 hdisk1

This is what I do.

Hi John,
I just did one command, 'bosboot -a', not seperate commands on both drives.
Would it still work? Anyone else with other inputs?
