MKBOOT(8)               COMMAND REFERENCE               MKBOOT(8)



NAME
     mkboot - install boot loader in maintenance partition of
     hard disk

SYNOPSIS
     /etc/mkboot special file

DESCRIPTION
     During system bootstrapping, the ROMs read the Boot Loader
     from the maintenance partition of the primary hard disk.
     Mkboot installs the Boot Loader in the maintenance
     partition, ready to be read by the ROMs.  The Boot Loader is
     in the file /diags/bl.

     Special is the  o  partition of the disk on which file is
     being installed.

     The Boot Loader must be installed on the first hard disk to
     allow bootstrapping; it will be installed there by the
     buildroot facility of miniroot, using mkboot.  The Boot
     Loader should be installed on every hard disk to provide
     alternate bootstrapping paths.

     Installation must be performed by the superuser since the  o
     partition is not generally writeable.

EXAMPLES
     To install the Boot Loader on the maintenance partition of
     the first optional disk (ds06), type the following:

          /etc/mkboot /dev/rds06o /diags/bl

FILES
     /diags/bl    the Boot Loader

SEE ALSO
     ds(4), and diskboot(8).
