Could someone tell me about the boot sequence for an rp24xx server?
I'm looking for the following info:

Sequence of lights flashing on the front of the machine
approximate boot times with default settings
-to simplex i/o console
-to boot/attempt to load ISL

(with/without fastboot enabled, etc.)
what will happen if the machine has no disks installed? Obviously the
boot will be halted, but will any lights on the front indicate this
error condition?

at what points does the green power LED flash during boot-up? When
does it stop flashing?

Thanks,

Chris

.. after attempting to boot from the Primary boot device and failing
with a message along the lines of "Entry init= -4", or somesuch, the
red fault light would come on: It remains on, until a successful
boot and sometimes even then. To extinguish the red light, in such a
case, you would have to connect (CTL-B) to the GSP and show the error log
(sl).
