.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm bim
|
|
.Nd pc532 boot image manager
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
bim
|
|
.Op Fl y
|
|
.Op Fl c Ar command
|
|
.Op Ar device
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The pc532 has available an autoboot ROM monitor.
|
|
This ROM monitor understands the
|
|
.Bx
|
|
disklabel and expects a boot image directory following the disklabel.
|
|
Also, it expects an image partition for the storage of bootable images.
|
|
The image directory and the image partition is managed by
|
|
.Nm .
|
|
The
|
|
.Ar device
|
|
is the raw disk partition that includes the disklabel.
|
|
The default value of
|
|
.Ar device
|
|
is
|
|
.Pa /dev/rsd0c .
|
|
.Nm
|
|
directly accesses both the disklabel and the image partition directly
|
|
from the raw disk device.
|
|
It does not open the device corresponding to the boot partition.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fl y
|
|
argument assumes a yes response to any questions
|
|
.Nm
|
|
would normally ask the user.
|
|
It is mainly useful for scripting.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Cm -c command
|
|
argument allows
|
|
.Nm
|
|
to execute commands given via the command line.
|
|
This allows
|
|
.Nm
|
|
to be used from scripts.
|
|
The
|
|
.Cm -c command
|
|
argument may be repeated up to 20 times.
|
|
The commands will be executed in the order given.
|
|
.Sh DISK INITIALIZATION
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is typically used as part of the initial setup on a disk.
|
|
The disk must be partitioned by using
|
|
.Xr disklabel 8 ,
|
|
making sure there is a boot boot partition.
|
|
This boot partition is often just after the disklabel.
|
|
It must not include the disklabel.
|
|
If
|
|
.Nm
|
|
does not detect a boot image directory,
|
|
it asks if the user wants one created.
|
|
From there, the operation of
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is completely command driven.
|
|
The command interpreter is
|
|
.Sh COMMANDS
|
|
.Nm
|
|
supports the following commands.

|
|
Bruce Culbertson wrote the basic command interpreter for the pc532
|
|
ROM monitor.
|
|
Philip A. Nelson took the command interpreter, modified
|
|
it to be a more generic command interpreter and added the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
specific code.
