6.0;cpboot (copy_boot), revision 6.0, 83/02/19
CPBOOT (COPY_BOOT) -- Copy the system boot file SYSBOOT.
usage:  CPBOOT source_dir target_dir


FORMAT

  CPBOOT source_directory target_directory


  CPBOOT copies the system boot file SYSBOOT from one directory to another.  The
  sysboot  file  is  used  by the bootstrap PROM to start the system.  CPBOOT is
  useful for copying SYSBOOT to a  floppy  disk,  thus  making  the  stand-alone
  utilities  (SAU)  directory  on the floppy disk accessible from the boot PROM.
  You may also use it to update a Winchester disk when a new software release is
  distributed.


ARGUMENTS

  source_directory
  (required)         Specify directory containing the file SYSBOOT.

  target_directory
  (required)         Specify directory to which SYSBOOT is to be copied.    This
                     must be the entry directory on the target logical volume.


EXAMPLES

  $ cpboot /flpa /    Copy the SYSBOOT file from the directory
                       "/flpa" to the current node entry directory.
