If you are booting via aboot from SRM then

   b dqa200 -fl i

(substitute "dqa200" with whatever is a name used by SRM for your boot
device) and you will get an aboot prompt where you can list and choose
from all predefined boot commands.  If none is suitable you can type a
full boot command yourself. "i" is short for "interactive".

If you already set 'bootdef_dev' to your boot device name then 'b -fl i'
will be enough.
