>Description:
1. installboot(8) could be nicer and point the user to find the command in /usr/mdec
2. "For UltraSPARC machines, these files live in /usr/mdec/bootblk.sparc64" -- WRONG
3. the example is totally bogus
>How-To-Repeat:
ls -l /usr/mdec/bootblk.sparc64
ls: /usr/mdec/bootblk.sparc64: No such file or directory
./installboot /boot /usr/mdec/bootxx /dev/rsd1a
installboot: open: /boot: No such file or directory
./installboot /usr/mdec/bootxx /dev/rsd1a
installboot: open: /usr/mdec/bootxx: No such file or directory
lets try:
./installboot -v /usr/mdec/ofwboot /dev/rsd1a;
proto: /usr/mdec/ofwboot
device: /dev/rsd1a
installboot: proto bootblocks too big
