.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
||||
The
|
||||
.Nm setnetbootinfo
|
||||
utility configures the NetBSD/alpha network bootstrap program so
|
||||
that it can be used to bootstrap systems with old firmware revisions.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
The NetBSD/alpha network bootstrap program needs to have the ethernet
|
||||
address of the interface being used to boot the system available when
|
||||
querying other hosts on the network for bootstrapping information.
|
||||
Alpha systems with old firmware revisions provide no way for
|
||||
network bootstrap programs to determine the ethernet address of
|
||||
the interface that they are booting from, and so the NetBSD/alpha
|
||||
network bootstrap program must find that information in another way.
|
||||
(Newer firmware revisions include the ethernet address in the name of
|
||||
the device that is being booted from.)
|
||||
The
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
utility encodes an ethernet address (and other information) directly
|
||||
into the network bootstrap program.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
The options recognized by
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
are as follows:
|
||||
.Bl -tag -width flag
|
||||
.It Fl a Ar ether-address
|
||||
Encode the given ethernet address into the network bootstrap program.
|
||||
(This option and the
|
||||
.Fl h
|
||||
option are mutually exclusive.)
|
||||
.It Fl f
|
||||
Force the address information being encoded in the bootstrap
|
||||
program to be used regardless of whether or not the bootstrap
|
||||
program can get address information from the booting system's
|
||||
firmware.
|
||||
.It Fl h Ar ether-host
|
||||
Encode the ethernet address of the specified host into the network
|
||||
bootstrap program. The host's name is translated to an ethernet
|
||||
address using the
|
||||
.Xr ether_hostton 3
|
||||
function.
|
||||
(This option and the
|
||||
.Fl a
|
||||
option are mutually exclusive.)
|
||||
.It Fl o Ar outfile
|
||||
Output the resulting bootstrap program into the file named by
|
||||
.Ar outfile ,
|
||||
replacing it if it already exists. If the
|
||||
.Fl o
|
||||
flag is not specified, the output file name will be
|
||||
the name of the input bootstrap program concatenated with a
|
||||
period and the digits of the ethernet address being encoded.
|
||||
For instance, if the input file is named
|
||||
.Pa /usr/mdec/netboot
|
||||
and is being configured to encode the ethernet address
|
||||
.Li 08:00:2b:bd:5d:fd ,
|
||||
then the default output file name would be
|
||||
.Pa /usr/mdec/netboot.08002bbd5dfd .
|
||||
It is safe to set the output file name to be the same as the
|
||||
input file name; the input file is read in its entirety before
|
||||
the output file is modified.
|
||||
.It Fl u
|
||||
Remove configuration information from the specified network
|
||||
bootstrap program. If this option is used, an output file name must be
|
||||
specified with the
|
||||
.Fl o
|
||||
option, and neither the
|
||||
.Fl a
|
||||
or the
|
||||
.Fl h
|
||||
options may be specified.
