.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
is a program that runs under
|
||||
.Tn RISC OS
|
||||
and launches the
|
||||
.Nx Ns /arm26
|
||||
kernel. It needs to be installed in a
|
||||
.Tn RISC OS
|
||||
filesystem and given file type FFB (BASIC). The kernel it is to load
|
||||
also needs to be stored in a
|
||||
.Tn RISC OS
|
||||
filesystem.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
It takes the following options, which set flags in the
|
||||
.Va boothowto
|
||||
variable in the booted kernel:
|
||||
.Bl -tag -width Fl
|
||||
.It Fl a
|
||||
.Pq Dv RB_ASKNAME
|
||||
Cause the kernel to prompt the user for the name of the device containing the
|
||||
root filesystem. This also causes
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
to prompt for the name of the kernel to be loaded.
|
||||
.It Fl s
|
||||
.Pq Dv RB_SINGLE
|
||||
Cause the kernel to ask
|
||||
.Nm init
|
||||
to boot into single-user mode.
|
||||
.It Fl d
|
||||
.Pq Dv RB_KDB
|
||||
Cause the kernel to ented the kernel debugger as soon as possible.
|
||||
.It Fl q
|
||||
.Pq Dv RB_QUIET
|
||||
Cause the kernel to emit fewer messages than normal while starting up.
|
||||
.It Fl v
|
||||
.Pq Dv RB_VERBOSE
|
||||
Cause the kernel to emit more messages than normal while starting up.

attempts to load the kernel from the

.Tn RISC OS
|

file specified as
|

.Ar file ,
|
||||
or from
|
||||

.Sh HISTORY
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
is as old as
|
||||
.Nx Ns /arm26 ,
|
||||
which isn't very old. Its name is a contraction of
|
||||
.Dq Ben's BASIC BSD Bootloader .
|
||||
.Sh BUGS
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
cannot load kernels from a
|
||||
.Nx
|
||||
filesystem, nor can it load compressed kernels.
