NAME¶
bootparams —
boot parameter
database
SYNOPSIS¶
DESCRIPTION¶
The
bootparams file specifies the boot parameters that
diskless 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.
