You can look at isl(1M).
A 11.20 document treats them the same:
... the initial program loader (IPL / ISL).

The ISL/IPL is the initial system (program) loader located on a bootable media, booted from boot console handler:

Main Menu: Enter command or menu > bo 0/0/3/0.0
Interact with IPL (Y, N, or Cancel)?> y

Booting...

As you can see the system asked for "IPL", so it is more or less the same.
