NAME
boot
-
system bootstrapping procedures
DESCRIPTION
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,
and unless this fails, the system will resume multi-user operations.
Cold starts
On an NeXT, the boot procedure uses the boot ROM to load a boot program
over the network using BOOTP and TFTP.
The
/usr/mdec
directory contains a network boot program which should be made available
via
tftp(1).
The network boot program will load
netbsd
from the NFS root as determined by the procedure described in
diskless(8).
