.Ss2 Get to the Boot Administration prompt
.
All \*M workstations have a Boot Administration command line
utility in their Boot ROM which lets you configure various settings. For
example, you can set whether the system automatically boots an OS, which
device to try booting from first, determine the ethernet MAC address, set
up a serial console, and possibly do some low level hardware access.
.Pp
To get to the
.Li BOOT_ADMIN\*>
prompt, you must press the
.Key ESCAPE
key before it tries to boot an OS. Since these machines often take a
long time between powering on and the brief window of time where you can
hit the
.Key ESCAPE
key, you must pay attention. Depending on how much RAM your system has, it
may take over a minute after pressing the power button before anything
will show up on screen.
.Pp
Once you have escaped out of the
.Li "Selecting a system to boot"
and
.Li "Searching for Potential Boot Devices"
you need to type the
.Key Sq a
key to get to the
.Li BOOT_ADMIN\*>
prompt. Now, use the online help with the
.Ic help
command.
.Pp
Write down the ethernet address.
You will need this later to configure the netboot server for your
.Nx*M
system.

.Ss2 Change the configuration parameters to netboot
.
The command syntax is different on the various models. Use the
.Ic "help path" ,
.Ic "help lan" ,
and
.Ic "help autoselect"
commands to learn about how to configure your system.
On a 735/99, you would type:
.(disp
.No BOOT_ADMIN\*> Ic "path primary lan"
.No BOOT_ADMIN\*> Ic "autoselect on"
.No BOOT_ADMIN\*> Ic "reset"
.disp)
.Pp
The first command sets the primary boot device to be the network
interface, and the second command sets the system to always try booting
from the primary boot path when it is reset or powered on. The last
command stores the new settings and resets the machine.
.Pp
To return to using the SCSI disk at ID 6 as your primary boot device, you
would use something like the following command:
.(disp
.No BOOT_ADMIN\*> Ic "path primary scsi.6.0"
.disp)
.
.Ss2 Determine netboot method
.
Most older Series 700 workstations (with PA-7000 (PCXS), PA-7100 (PCXT),
or PA-7150 (PCXT)) use the RMP (Remote Maintenance Protocol) to netboot.
Specifically, they retrieve their boot program from an
.Xr rbootd 8
server. The following list of RMP-only Series 700 workstations is
probably complete, but has not been tested:
.(bullet -compact

.Pp
Newer Series 700 workstations retrieve their boot program from a server
running
.Xr dhcpd 8
in
.Xr bootpd 8
compatible mode and
.Xr tftpd 8 .
The following list of BOOTP-only Series 700 workstations is
probably complete, but has not been tested:
.(bullet -compact

715/64, 715/80, 715/100, 715/100XC

Because
.Nx*M
must run diskless, the distribution must be
installed to a remote machine that NFS exports to the \*M machine.
As a result, there is no automated install procedure.
Begin by retrieving the
.Nx
set files onto the serving machine.
These can be found at ftp.NetBSD.org.
