sparc64 boot blocks
SYNOPSIS
/usr/mdec/binstall |

[-b
bootprog]
[-f
filesystem]
[-m mdec]
[-i
installbootprog]
[“net” | “ffs”]
[directory] |
DESCRIPTION
The
/usr/mdec/binstall program prepares a sparc or sparc64
system for booting, either from local disk from a “ffs” partition
or over the network. The default type of boot block installed is derived from
the host system. If it is an UltraSPARC, the sparc64 boot blocks will be used,
otherwise the SPARC boot blocks will be used.
/usr/mdec/binstall can be forced to prepare a disk for
either.
OPTIONS
The following options are available:
-
-
- -b
- Set the second stage boot program to
bootprog. This will typically be
boot.net for sparc systems and
ofwboot.net for sparc64 systems.
-
-
- -f
- Set the path to the filesystem being installed for to
filesystem. This is otherwise derived from the
[directory].
-
-
- -h
- Display help.
-
-
- -i
- Set the path to the
installboot(8)
program to installbootprog. This is useful for using
/usr/mdec/binstall on non-sparc or sparc64 systems.
-
-
- -m
- Sets the path to the machine dependent directory to
mdec. This is the directory that both the boot
blocks and the
installboot(8)
program live.
-
-
- -t
- Test mode; does not run any program. Implies the
-v option.
-
-
- -U
- Install sparc (SPARC) boot blocks.
-
-
- -u
- Install sparc64 (UltraSPARC) boot blocks.
-
-
- -v
- Be verbose.
