.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.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,
|
|
and unless this fails, the system will resume multi-user operations.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Sy Cold starts.
|
|
On an HP300, the boot procedure uses the boot ROM to load a boot program
|
|
from an
|
|
.Tn LIF
|
|
format directory at the beginning of an attached disk.
|
|
The
|
|
.Pa /usr/mdec
|
|
directory contains a disk boot programs which should be placed in a
|
|
new pack automatically by
|
|
.Xr newfs 8
|
|
when the ``a'' partition file system on the pack is created.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This
|
|
.Em boot
|
|
program
|
|
finds the corresponding file on the given device
|
|
.Pf ( Ar kernel
|
|
by default),
|
|
loads that file into memory,
|
|
and starts the program at the entry address specified in the program header.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The boot program can be interrupted by typing `^C' (ctrl-C).
|
|
This will force the boot program to interactively prompt for a system to boot.
|
|
If not interrupted, it will boot from the device from which the boot
|
|
program itself was loaded.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The file specifications used for an interactive boot are of the form:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl device(unit, minor)
|
|
.Pp
|
|
where
|
|
.Ar device
|
|
is the type of the device to be searched,
|
|
.Ar unit
|
|
is 8 * the hpib number plus the unit number of the disk or tape,
|
|
and
|
|
.Ar minor
|
|
is the disk partition or tape file number.
|
|
Normal line editing characters can be used when typing the file specification.
|
|
Currently, ``rd'' and ``sd'' are the only valid
|
|
.Ar device
|
|
specifiers.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
For example,
|
|
to boot from the `a' file system of unit 0 on HP-IB 2,
|
|
type
|
|
.Ql rd(16, 0)kernel
|
|
to the boot prompt.
|
|
For tapes, the minor device number gives a file offset.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
In an emergency, the bootstrap methods described in the paper
|
|
.%T Installing 4.3bsd on the HP300
|
|
can be used to boot from a distribution tape.
