        share/man/man8/man8.sparc/boot.8: revision 1.30
Add support to the 2nd stage boot loader for booting from RAID
partitions.  We do this by checking the NetBSD label to see if the
boot partition is of type RAID.  If so, we offset reads from the
disk so that the kernel image can be read.
Note that with this code, sun4 machines (with PROM monitor) will only
boot from RAID if the RAID partition is the first one on the disk.
Tested on a SPARCstation 20, a SPARCstation 2 and a 4/330.
Add some PROM monitor and Open Boot PROM boot-related commands and a
BUGS section describing boot limitations.
Drop trailing whitespace.
