NAME
boot —
system bootstrapping
procedures
DESCRIPTION
Power fail and crash
recovery
Normally, the system will reboot itself at power-up or after crashes. An
automatic consistency check of the file systems will be performed, and unless
this fails, the system will resume multi-user operations.
Cold starts
On a NeXT, the boot procedure uses the boot ROM to load a boot program over the
network using BOOTP and TFTP. The
/usr/mdec directory
contains a network boot program which should be made available via
tftp(1). The network boot
program will load
netbsd from the NFS root as determined by
the procedure described in
diskless(8).
