|
|
.Nm reboot
|
|
.Op Fl n

|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Tn UNIX ,
|
|
an ordinary executable file,
|
|
is placed into memory by bootstrap at location absolute zero, and
|
|
entered at the executable's entry point
|
|
.Pq Va a_entry .
|
|
Upon startup, the system reorganizes memory to suit the needs of
|
|
the hardware configuration found, thus it is not designed to
|
|
be restartable without being reloaded on reboot.
|
|
Each time it is to be bootstrapped, it must be reloaded, usually from
|
|
a disk file.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Sy Rebooting a running system .
|
|
When a
|
|
.Tn UNIX
|
|
is running and a reboot is desired,
|
|
.Xr shutdown 8
|
|
is normally used.
|
|
If there are no users then
|
|
.Nm reboot
|
|
can be used.
|
|
Reboot causes the disks to be synced and allows the system
|
|
to perform other shutdown activities such as resynchronizing
|
|
hardware time-of-day clocks.
|
|
A multi-user reboot (as described below) is then initiated.
|
|
This causes a system to be
|
|
booted and an automatic disk check to be performed. If all this succeeds
|
|
without incident, the system is then brought up for many users.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Options to reboot are:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Fl n
|
|
option avoids the sync. It can be used if a disk or the processor
|
|
is on fire.
|
|
.It Fl q
|
|
reboots quickly and ungracefully, without shutting down running
|
|
processes first.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Nm Reboot
|
|
normally logs the reboot using
|
|
.Xr syslog 8
|
|
and places a shutdown record in the login accounting file
|
|
.Pa /var/log/wtmp .
|
|
These actions are inhibited if the
|
|
.Fl n
|
|
or
|
|
.Fl q
|
|
options are present.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Sy Power fail and crash recovery.
|
|
Normally, the system will reboot itself at power-up or after crashes.
|
|
An automatic consistency check of the file systems will be performed
|
|
as described in
|
|
.Xr fsck 8 .
|
|
and unless this fails, the system will resume multi-user operations.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Sy Cold starts .
|
|
The 386
|
|
.Tn "PC AT"
|
|
clones attempt to boot the floppy disk drive A (otherwise
|
|
known as drive 0) first, and failing that, attempt to boot the hard disk
|
|
C (otherwise known as hard disk controller 1, drive 0).
|
|
The automatic boot will attempt to load
|
|
.Pa vmunix
|
|
from partition A of
|
|
either the floppy or the hard disk. This boot may be aborted by typing
|
|
any character on the keyboard repeatedly (four or five times at least)
|
|
during the operating system load phase, after which the bootstrap will
|
|
prompt for the file that you wish to load instead.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
One exception to this is the
|
|
.Ql d
|
|
key, which will not abort the load but
|
|
instead silently force the
|
|
.Dv DEBUG
|
|
boot flags. The boot flags for an autoboot
|
|
are 0, and 3 for the successive boot after an aborted autoboot sequence.
|
|
No other provison is made for setting boot flags (yet).
|
|
A specific device or bootstrap file may be used; for example,
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The file specifications used for the boostrap
|
|
when loaded with the
|
|
.Dq askme
|
|
flag
|
|
(e.g. an aborted autoboot)
|
|
are of the form:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl device unit partition:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
where
|
|
.Ar device
|
|
is the type of the device, assumed to be on the ISA bus, to be searched,
|
|
.Ar unit
|
|
is the unit number of the disk or tape,
|
|
and
|
|
.Ar partition
|
|
is the disk partition or tape file number.
|
|
Normal line editing characters can be used when typing the file specification.
|
|
The following list of supported devices may vary from installation to
|
|
installation:
|
|
.Bd -unfilled -offset indent
|
|
wd ST506, IDE, ESDI, RLL disks on a WD100[2367] or lookalike
|
|
controller
|
|
fd 5 1/4" or 3 1/2" High density floppies
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
For example,
|
|
to boot from a file system which starts at cylinder 0
|
|
of unit 0 of an IDE disk, type
|
|
.Dq Li wd0a:vmunix
|
|
to the boot prompt;
|
|
.Dq Li fd0a:vmunix
|
|
would specify a 3 1/2" floppy drive 0 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
In an emergency, the bootstrap methods described in the paper
|
|
.%T "Installing and Operating 4.3 BSD-Reno UNIX on the AT/386"
|
|
can be used
|
|
to boot from a distribution tape.

|
|
The disklabel format used by this version of
|
|
.Bx
|
|
is quite
|
|
different from that of other architectures.
