Thibaut,

Just some more stuff about your paragraph:
[snip]
2.1.2.1. The main commands
These commands are the basic ones.
• boot must be followed by an argument
[snip]

Afaik 'must' would be better 'could', may be in rare case 'must'
(all system I daily use just need "bo [return]" ;-)

btw, I found this interesting page:
<http://docs.hp.com/en/B2355-90950/ch05s01.html#d0e39165>
and specialy this paragraph:
[Procedure 5-13. Using the Boot Console Handler to Boot from an Alternate Boot
Device}
   
and also this table:
[Table 5-1. How autoboot and autosearch Flag Settings Affect the Boot Sequence]

About bullets: • search
imho it lakes the most usefull sea option: ipl ;-)

Tx,
    Joel
