NAME
bootparams —
boot parameter database
SYNOPSIS
/etc/bootparams |
DESCRIPTION
Thebootparams file specifies the boot parameters that
diskless(8) clients may request when booting over the network. Each
client supported by this server must have an entry in the
bootparams file containing the pathnames for its
“root” and (optionally) “swap” areas.
Each line in the file (other than comment lines that begin with a
‘#’) specifies the client name
followed by the pathnames that the client may request by their logical
names. The components of the line are delimited with blank or tab, and may
be continued onto multiple lines with a backslash.
For example:
dummy root=host:/export/dummy/root \ swap=host:/export/dummy/swap \ dump=host:/export/dummy/swap
When the client named “dummy” requests the pathname for its logical “root” it will be given the pathname “host:/export/dummy/root” as the response to its RPC request. The “host:” component must be supplied.
