The /usr/mdec/binstall
program prepares a sparc or
sparc64 system for booting, either from local disk from a “ffs”
partition or over the network. The default type of boot block installed is
derived from the host system. If it is an UltraSPARC, the sparc64 boot blocks
will be used, otherwise the SPARC boot blocks will be used.
/usr/mdec/binstall
can be forced to prepare a disk for
either.
The following options are available:
-b
- Set the second stage boot program to bootprog. This
will typically be boot.net for sparc systems and
ofwboot.net for sparc64 systems.
-f
- Set the path to the filesystem being installed for to
filesystem. This is otherwise derived from the
[directory].
-h
- Display help.
-i
- Set the path to the
installboot(8)
program to installbootprog. This is useful for using
/usr/mdec/binstall
on non-sparc or sparc64
systems.
-m
- Sets the path to the machine dependent directory to
mdec. This is the directory that both the boot
blocks and the
installboot(8)
program live.
-t
- Test mode; does not run any program. Implies the
-v
option.
-U
- Install sparc (SPARC) boot blocks.
-u
- Install sparc64 (UltraSPARC) boot blocks.
-v
- Be verbose.
