-.Dt INSTALLBOOT 8
-.Os
-.Sh NAME
-.Nm installboot
-.Nd install disk or CD-ROM bootstrap software
-.Sh SYNOPSIS
-.Nm installboot
-.Op Fl nv
-.Op Fl b Ar bn
-.Ar boot
-.Ar bootxx
-.Ar rawdiskdevice
-.Sh DESCRIPTION
-The
-.Nm installboot
-utility prepares a disk for bootstrapping.
-.Pp
-The
-.Nx Ns Tn /alpha
-disk bootstrap software is split into two parts:
-a small first-stage boot program that is written into the disklabel
-area of a disk
-.Po
-and hence is limited in size to 7680 bytes
-.Pc ,
-and a second-stage boot program that resides in a FFS, ISO-9660, or USTAR
-file system on a disk, CD-ROM image, or magnetic tape image,
-.Po
-typically with the name 
-.Pa /boot
-.Pc .
-The first-stage boot program is loaded into memory by the SRM console
-software.  After receiving control of the system, it loads the
-second-stage boot program from a set of filesystem block numbers that
-have been
-hard-coded into it by
-.Nm installboot .
-The second-stage boot program locates and loads the kernel.
-.Pp
-The second-stage boot program and the prototype code for the
-first-stage boot program can be found in
-.Pa /usr/mdec/boot
-and
-.Pa /usr/mdec/bootxx ,
-respectively.
-.Pa /usr/mdec/boot
-may be installed simply by copying it to the root directory of the
-partition you wish to boot from, but after it is installed
-.Nm installboot
-.Em must
-be run.
-.Pp
-The options recognized by
-.Nm installboot
-are as follows:
-.Bl -tag -width -b\ bn
-.It Fl n
-Do not actually write anything on the disk.
-.It Fl v
-Verbose mode.
-.It Fl b Ar bn
-Ignore the file system type and assume that
-.Pa boot
-is contiguously present with initial block number
-.Ar bn .
-.El
-.Pp
-The arguments are:
-.Bl -tag -width rawdiskdevice
-.It Ar boot
-The name of the second-stage boot program in the file system
-where the first-stage boot program is to be installed.
-.It Ar bootxx
-The name of the prototype file for the first-stage boot program.
-.It Ar rawdiskdevice
-The name of the device corresponding to the raw whole-disk partition (the
-.Dq raw partition )
-of the disk on which the first-stage boot program is to be installed.
-.El
-.Sh EXAMPLES
-Assuming the second-stage boot program
-.Pa boot
-resides in the FFS file system mounted on
-.Pa /
-from
-.Dq sd0a ,
-you would install the first-stage boot program on the disk
-(and therefore make the disk bootable) by using the command:
-.Bd -literal -offset indent
-installboot /boot /usr/mdec/bootxx /dev/rsd0c
-.Ed
-.Pp
-Assuming the second-stage boot program
-.Pa boot
-resides in the ISO-9660 file system mounted on
-.Pa /mnt
-from
-.Dq vnd0a ,
-you would install the first-stage boot progam into the CD-ROM image
-(and therefore make the image bootable once burned onto a CD) by using
-the command:
-.Bd -literal -offset indent
-installboot /mnt/boot /usr/mdec/bootxx /dev/rvnd0c
-.Ed
-.Sh BUGS
-The
-.Nx Ns Tn /alpha
-boot blocks can only load kernels from disks'
-.Dq a
-partitions.  (However, the second-stage boot
-program may be located on any FFS file system partition
-on the disk.)
-.Pp
-.Nm Installboot
-requires simultaneous access to the mounted file system and
-the disks' raw partition.
-That is not allowed with the kernel
-.Dv securelevel
-variable
-.Po
-see
-.Xr sysctl 8
-.Pc
-set to a value greater than one, or with
-.Dv securelevel
-set to one if the
-.Dq boot
-program resides in a file system on the disk's raw partition.

-.Sh HISTORY
-The
-.Nx Ns Tn /alpha
-.Nm
-command first appeared in
-.Nx 1.2 .
