NAME¶
bootparamd
—
boot parameter server
SYNOPSIS¶
rpc.bootparamd |
[ -d ]
[-s ]
[-r
router ]
[-f
file ] |
DESCRIPTION¶
bootparamd
is a server process that provides
information to diskless clients necessary for booting. It consults the
/etc/bootparams file to find the
information it needs.
This version will allow the use of aliases on the hostname in the
/etc/bootparams file. The returned hostname
to the whoami request done by the booting client will be the name that appears
in
/etc/bootparams and not the canonical
name. In this way you can keep the answer short enough so that machines that
cannot handle long hostnames won't fail during boot.
OPTIONS¶
-d
- Display debugging information.
-s
- Log the debugging information to syslog.
-r
router
- The default router (a machine or an IP-address). This defaults to the
machine running the server.
-f
file
- The file to use as boot parameter file instead of /etc/bootparams.
FILES¶
/etc/bootparams
BUGS¶
You may find the syslog loggings too verbose.
