+.Ss ISL interaction
+.Dq ISL
+stands for
+.Dq Initial System Loader
+and is the
+.Xr boot 8
+program in
+.Ox .
+On all versions of the PDC except for the 712 models the
+.Dq boot
+command (see below) will be followed by the question:
+.Dq Interact with IPL (Y, N, or Cancel)?>
+where a positive answer will invoke an interactive prompt
+in the
+.Xr boot 8
+program later and negative thus suppress such.
+Cancelation will abort the boot process.
+.Pp
+On the 712 models firmware an additional
+.Dq isl
+argument should be given to the
+.Dq boot
+command to invoke the
+.Xr boot 8
+interactive prompt.
+With the default behaviour being a non-interactive boot process.
