bootparams(4)

NAME

bootparams − boot parameter data base

SYNOPSIS

/etc/bootparams

DESCRIPTION

The bootparams file contains the list of client entries that diskless clients use for booting. For each diskless client the entry should contain the following information:

name of client
a list of keys, names of servers, and pathnames.

The first item of each entry is the name of the diskless client. The subsequent item is a list of keys, names of servers, and pathnames.

Items are separated by TAB characters.

A client entry in the local /etc/bootparams file supersedes an entry in the corresponding name service map. See nsswitch.conf(4).

EXAMPLES

Here is an example of a /etc/bootparams file:

myclientroot=myserver:/nfsroot/myclient \
swap=myserver:/nfsswap/myclient \
dump=myserver:/nfsdump/myclient
