+and launches the
+.Nx Ns /arm26
+kernel.  It needs to be installed in a
+.Tn RISC OS
+filesystem and given file type FFB (BASIC).  The kernel it is to load
+also needs to be stored in a
+.Tn RISC OS
+filesystem.
+.Pp
+It takes the following options, which set flags in the
+.Va boothowto
+variable in the booted kernel:
+.Bl -tag -width Fl
+.It Fl a
+.Pq Dv RB_ASKNAME
+Cause the kernel to prompt the user for the name of the device containing the
+root filesystem.  This also causes
+.Nm
+to prompt for the name of the kernel to be loaded.
+.It Fl s
+.Pq Dv RB_SINGLE
+Cause the kernel to ask
+.Nm init
+to boot into single-user mode.
+.It Fl d
+.Pq Dv RB_KDB
+Cause the kernel to ented the kernel debugger as soon as possible.

+.Sh HISTORY
+.Nm
+is as old as
+.Nx Ns /arm26 ,
+which isn't very old.  Its name is a contraction of
+.Dq Ben's BASIC BSD Bootloader .

+cannot load kernels from a
+.Nx
+filesystem, nor can it load compressed kernels.
