Parisc Itanium Comparison

The document compares the boot process and options between PARISC and Itanium systems. For PARISC systems, the boot process involves firmware, the Initial System Loader (ISL), and the hpux kernel. The ISL menu provides options to configure boot paths and boot modes. For Itanium systems, the boot process uses the Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) and its boot manager to launch the hpux.efi file which then loads the hpux kernel. The EFI shell provides options to configure boot options, paths, and modes.
