Sh NAME
Nm installboot
Nd install a bootstrap on a UFS disk
Sh SYNOPSIS
Nm /usr/mdec/installboot
Fl n | Fl v
Ar ufsboot
Ar bootxx
Ar rawdev
Sh DESCRIPTION
Nm
is used to install a "first-stage" boot program into the boot area
of a UFS disk partition, and initialize the table of block numbers the
Ar bootxx
program uses to load the second-stage boot program.
Pp
The options are as follows:
Bl -tag -width flag
It Fl n
Do not actually write anything on the disk.
It Fl v
Be verbose, printing out the block numbers that
Ar bootxx
will use to load
Ar ufsboot .
El
Pp
The arguments are:
Bl -tag -width ufsboot
It Ar ufsboot
the name of the second-stage boot program in the file system
where the first-stage boot program is to be installed.
It Ar bootxx
the name of the prototype file for the first stage boot program.
It Ar rawdev
the name of the raw device in which the first-stage boot program
is to be installed.  This should correspond to the block device
on which the file system containing
Ar ufsboot
is mounted.
El
Sh SEE ALSO
Xr disklabel 8 ,
Xr init 8
Sh BUGS
Nm
requires simultaneous access to the mounted file system and
the raw device, but that is not allowed with the kernel
Dv securelevel
variable set to a value greater than zero (the default), so
Nm
only works in single-user mode (or insecure mode - see
Xr init 8 ) .
