|

which must currently be an

default to zero, which is almost always correct.
|
||||||
|
.Pp
|
||||||
|
The controller number can
|
||||||
|
be specified if there is more than one of the given device in the system.
|
||||||
|
For example, use
|
||||||
|
.Dq ie(1,,)
|
||||||
|
to boot off of the second Intel Ethernet in the system.
|
||||||
|
.Pp
|
||||||
|
The unit number specifies one of the many devices attached to a
|
||||||
|
controller. The exact meaning and values vary depending on the device name.
|
||||||
|
For example,
|
||||||
|
.Dq sd(,18,)
|
||||||
|
boots the disk at target 6 on the first SCSI controller, 18 being the target
|
||||||
|
number 6, multiplied by 4, and given in hexadecimal.
|
||||||
|
.Pp
|
||||||
|
The partition number specifies one of the many partitions on a device. The
|
||||||
|
exact meaning and values vary depending on the device name. For example,
|
||||||
|
.Dq sd(,18,1)
|
||||||
|
boots the second partition on the disk at target 6 on the first SCSI
|
||||||
|
controller.
|
||||||
|
.Pp
|
||||||
|
The PROM only loads a first-stage boot program, currently either
|
||||||
|
.Pa /usr/mdec/bootxx
|
||||||
|
(for a disk boot), or
|
||||||
|
.Pa /usr/mdec/bootyy
|
||||||
|
(for a network boot). This first-stage boot program then loads the
|
||||||
|
second-stage boot program from the same device, currently either
|
||||||
|
.Pa /usr/mdec/ufsboot
|
||||||
|
(for a disk boot), or
|
||||||
|
.Pa /usr/mdec/netboot
|
||||||
|
(for a network boot).
|
||||||
|
.Pp
|
||||||
|
The second-stage boot program will then attempt to load the kernel named
|
||||||
|
.Ar file
|
||||||
|
(or
|
||||||
|
.Pa vmunix
|
||||||
|
if none is specified).
|
||||||
|
The second-stage disk boot program
|
||||||
|
.Pa /usr/mdec/ufsboot
|
||||||
|
loads the kernel from the same device that it was loaded from,

while the second-stage network boot program
