|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
Windows\ CE machines with
|
|
.Tn StrongARM
|
|
CPUs use the
|
|
.Xr hpcboot 8
|
|
program to boot
|
|
.Nx .
|
|
.Ss Power fail and crash recovery
|
|
.\"
|
|
Unfortunately,
|
|
.Nx
|
|
can't reboot itself at power-up or after crashes.
|
|
The machine will go through the cold reset and boot into Windows\ CE.
|
|
You will have to restart
|
|
.Nx
|
|
manually using
|
|
.Xr hpcboot 8 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Once
|
|
.Nx
|
|
starts, an automatic consistency check of the file systems will be
|
|
performed, and unless this fails, the system will resume multi-user
|
|
operations.
|
|
.\"
|
|
.Ss Cold starts
|
|
.\"
|
|
On cold reset Windows\ CE handheld machines attempt to boot the Windows\ CE
|
|
operating system from the boot ROM.
|
|
The boot ROM is usually not rewritable, so you cannot erase or damage
|
|
Windows\ CE image.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
You can't boot
|
|
.Nx
|
|
directly, skipping Windows\ CE.
|
|
The
|
|
.Nx
|
|
bootloader,
|
|
.Xr hpcboot 8 ,
|
|
is provided as a Windows\ CE application program instead.
|
|
Though the bootloader is an application program, it blows the entire
|
|
running Windows\ CE, its data, and its settings away from RAM (but not
|
|
ROM!\&) when the kernel boots successfully.
|
|
If
|
|
.Nx
|
|
is halted the machine will go through the cold reset and will reboot
|
|
into Windows\ CE.
|
|

|
|

|
|
.Xr hpcboot 8
|
|
manual page.

|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
.\"
|
|
There is no general way to launch the bootloader automatically, as
|
|
only a few Windows\ CE machines provide an
|
|
.Dq auto run
|
|
mechanism.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This port doesn't support
|
|
.Xr kloader 4 ,
|
|
which means that when the system is rebooted, it goes back to Windows\ CE.
