.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility installs and removes
|
|
.Nx
|
|
disk bootstrap software into a file system.
|
|
.Nm
|
|
can install
|
|
.Ar primary
|
|
into
|
|
.Ar filesystem ,
|
|
or disable an existing bootstrap in
|
|
.Ar filesystem .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
On some architectures the options of an existing installed bootstrap,
|
|
or those of a bootstrap file can be changed.
|
|
Installing a new primary bootstrap will reset those options to default
|
|
values.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Generally,
|
|
.Nx
|
|
disk bootstrap software consists of two parts: a
|
|
.Dq primary
|
|
bootstrap program usually written into the disklabel area of the
|
|
file system by
|
|
.Nm ,
|
|
and a
|
|
.Dq secondary
|
|
bootstrap program that usually resides as an ordinary file in the file system.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
When booting, the primary bootstrap program is loaded and invoked by
|
|
the machine's PROM or BIOS.
|
|
After receiving control of the system it loads and runs the secondary
|
|
bootstrap program, which in turn loads and runs the kernel.
|
|
The secondary bootstrap may allow control over various boot parameters
|
|
passed to the kernel.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Perform the following steps to make a file system bootable:
|
|
.Bl -enum
|
|
.It
|
|
Copy the secondary bootstrap (usually
|
|
.Pa /usr/mdec/boot. Ns Sy MACHINE
|
|
or
|
|
.Pa /usr/mdec/boot )
|
|
to the root directory of the target file system.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.
|
|
.It
|
|
Use
|
|
.Nm
|
|
to install the primary bootstrap program
|
|
(usually
|
|
.Pa /usr/mdec/bootxx_ Ns Sy FSTYPE )
|
|
into
|
|
.Ar filesystem .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following platforms do not require this step if the primary bootstrap
|
|
already exists and the secondary bootstrap file is just being updated:
|
|
.Sy alpha ,
|
|
.Sy amd64 ,
|
|
.Sy amiga ,
|
|
.Sy i386 ,
|
|
.Sy pmax ,
|
|
.Sy sparc64 ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Sy vax .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following platform does not require the first step since a
|
|
single bootstrap file is used.
|
|
The single bootstrap is installed like the primary bootstrap on
|
|
other platforms:
|
|
.Sy next68k .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The options and arguments recognized by
|
|
.Nm
|
|
are as follows:
|
|
.
|
|
.Bl -tag -width "optionsxxx"
|
|
.
|
|
.It Fl B Ar s2bno
|
|
When hard-coding the blocks of
|
|
.Ar secondary
|
|
into
|
|
.Ar primary ,
|
|
start from block
|
|
.Ar s2bno
|
|
instead of trying to determine the block numbers occupied by
|
|
.Ar secondary
|
|
by examining
|
|
.Ar filesystem .
|
|
If this option is supplied,
|
|
.Ar secondary
|
|
should refer to an actual secondary bootstrap (rather than the
|
|
file name of the one present in
|
|
.Ar filesystem )
|
|
so that its size can be determined.
|
|
.
|
|
.It Fl b Ar s1bno
|
|
Install
|
|
.Ar primary
|
|
at block number
|
|
.Ar s1bno

|
instead of the default location for the machine and file system type.

|
|

|
|
file.
|
|
With
|

The following file system types are currently supported by

.
|
|
.Bl -tag -offset indent -width raid
|

Mirrored RAIDframe File System.
|

.It Sy raw
|
|
.Sq Raw
|
|
image.
|
|
Note: if a platform needs to hard-code the block offset of the secondary
|
|
bootstrap, it cannot be searched for on this file system type, and must
|
|
be provided with
|
|
.Fl B Ar s2bno .
|
|
.El
|
|
.
|
|
.It Fl v
|
|
Verbose operation.
|
|
.
|
|
.It Ar filesystem
|
|
The path name of the device or file system image that
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is to operate on.
|
|
It is not necessary for
|
|
.Ar filesystem
|
|
to be a currently mounted file system.
|
|
.
|
|
.It Ar primary
|
|
The path name of the
|
|
.Dq primary
|
|
boot block to install.
|
|
The path name must refer to a file in a file system that is currently
|
|
mounted.
|
|
.
|
|
.It Ar secondary
|
|
The path name of the
|
|
.Dq secondary
|
|
boot block, relative to the root of
|
|
the file system in the device or image specified by the
|
|
.Ar filesystem
|
|
argument.
|
|
Note that this may refer to a file in a file system that is not mounted.
|
|
Most systems require
|
|
.Ar secondary
|
|
to be in the
|
|
.Dq root
|
|
directory of the file system, so the leading
|
|
.Dq Pa /
|
|
is not necessary on
|
|
.Ar secondary .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Only certain combinations of
|
|
platform
|
|
.Pq Fl m Ar machine
|
|
and file system type
|
|
.Pq Fl t Ar fstype
|
|
require that the name of the secondary bootstrap is
|
|
supplied as
|
|
.Ar secondary ,
|
|
so that information such as the disk block numbers occupied
|
|
by the secondary bootstrap can be stored in the primary bootstrap.
|

Create a bootable floppy disk with an FFSv1

Create a bootable FAT file system on

The

.Sh BUGS
|
|
There are not currently primary bootstraps to support all file systems
|
|
types which are capable of being the root file system.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If a disk has been converted from
|
|
.Sy FFS
|
|
to
|
|
.Sy RAID
|
|
without the contents of the disk erased, then the original
|
|
.Sy FFS
|
|
installation may be auto-detected instead of the
|
|
.Sy RAID
|
|
installation.
|
|
In this case, the
|
|
.Fl t Ar raid
|
|
option must be provided.
|
|
.
|
|
.Ss Nx Ns Tn /alpha
|
|
The
|
|
.Nx Ns Tn /alpha
|
|
primary bootstrap program can only load the secondary bootstrap program
|
|
from file systems starting at the beginning (block 0) of disks.
|
|
Similarly, the secondary bootstrap program can only load kernels from
|
|
file systems starting at the beginning of disks.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The size of primary bootstrap programs is restricted to 7.5KB, even
|
|
though some file systems (e.g., ISO 9660) are able to accommodate larger
|
|
ones.
|
|
.
|
|
.Ss Nx Ns Tn /hp300
|
|
The disk must have a boot partition large enough to hold the bootstrap code.
|
|
Currently the primary bootstrap must be a LIF format file.
|
|
.
|
|
.Ss Nx Ns Tn /i386 and Nx Ns Tn /amd64
|
|
The bootstrap must be installed in the
|
|
.Nx
|
|
partition that starts at the beginning of the mbr partition.
|
|
If that is a valid filesystem and contains the
|
|
.Pa /boot
|
|
program then it will be used as the root filesystem, otherwise the
|
|
.Sq a
|
|
partition will be booted.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The size of primary bootstrap programs is restricted to 8KB, even
|
|
though some file systems (e.g., ISO 9660) are able to accommodate larger
|
|
ones.
|
|
.
|
|
.Ss Nx Ns Tn /macppc
|
|
Due to restrictions in
|
|
.Nm
|
|
and the secondary bootstrap implementation, file systems where kernels exist
|
|
must start at the beginning of disks.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Currently,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
doesn't recognize an existing Apple partition map on the disk
|
|
and always writes a faked map to make disks bootable.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nx Ns Tn /macppc
|
|
bootstrap program can't load kernels from
|
|
.Sy FFSv2
|
|
partitions.
|
|
.Ss Nx Ns Tn /next68k
|
|
The size of bootstrap programs is restricted to the free space before
|
|
the file system at the beginning of the disk minus 8KB.
|
|

|
|
.Ss Nx Ns Tn /pmax
|
