    you probablly meant '-B'

    -b Returns the last boot device.
    -B Disk Displays a 1 if the IPL code in the ROS on the machine running the command is capable of booting from the specified disk. Otherwise, the command displays a 0.
    Just thought I clear it up for the poster.

    Yes 'only' if the disk is set to be 'bootable', it may not be.
    For ex; run ipl_varyon -i against mirrored rootvg (hd5 mirrored to two dirves and when its not) and see the difference.
