.\"
|
|
.Ss Power fail and crash recovery
|
|
.\"
|
|
Unfortunately, on most machines, the system can't reboot itself
|
|
at power-up or after crashes.
|
|
You might have to restart the system manually.
|
|
Once the system starts, an automatic consistency check of the file systems
|
|
will be performed,
|
|
and unless this fails, the system will resume multi-user operations.

|
|
Typical MIPS based Windows CE Handheld machines
|
|
attempt to boot Windows CE operating system in its own boot ROM.
|
|
You can't boot the
|
|
.Nx
|
|
directly skipping Windows CE.
|
|
The
|
|
.Nx
|
|
bootloaders are provided as application programs on Windows CE instead.
|
|
You can choose
|
|
.Xr pbsdboot 8
|
|
or
|
|
.Xr hpcboot 8 .
|
|
Though the bootloaders are application programs,
|
|
they blow away the entire Windows CE OS and its settings
|
|
when the kernel boots successfully.
|
|
.\"
|
|
.Ss Normal Operation
|
|
.\"
|
|
Once running, a familiar window will appear.
|
|
You can choose the machine type, kernel file location and kernel boot
|
|
options with a GUI and push the button named
|
|
.Dq Li [boot]
|
|
to boot
|
|
.Nx .
|
|
.\"
|
|
.Ss Automatic mode
|
|
.\"
|
|
The bootloaders have an
|
|
.Dq Li auto boot
|
|
option.
|
|
If you enable this option, the specified kernel will be loaded
|
|
automatically after a countdown.

.Sh BUGS

|
|
There is no general way to launch a bootloader automatically
|
|
while a few Windows CE machine provide an
|
|
.Dq auto run
|
|
mechanism.
