NAME
bootparams - boot parameter database
SYNOPSIS
/etc/bootparams
DESCRIPTION
The bootparams file specifies the boot parameters that diskless clients
may request when booting over the network. Each client supported by this
server must have an entry in the bootparams file containing the pathnames
for its root and (optionally) swap areas.
Each line in the file (other than comment lines that begin with a #)
specifies the client name followed by the pathnames that the client may
request by their logical names. The components of the line are delimited
with blank or tab, and may be continued onto multiple lines with a
backslash.
For example:
dummy root=host:/export/dummy/root \
swap=host:/export/dummy/swap \
dump=host:/export/dummy/swap
When the client named "dummy" requests the pathname for its logical
"root" it will be given the pathname “host:/export/dummy/root” as the
response to its RPC request. The "host:" component must be supplied.
