installboot(1M) System Administration Commands installboot(1M) NAME installboot - install bootblocks in a disk partition SYNOPSIS SPARC installboot bootblk raw-disk-device IA installboot pboot bootblk raw-disk-device DESCRIPTION The boot(1M) program, ufsboot, is loaded from disk by the bootblock program which resides in the boot area of a disk partition. The ufs boot objects are platform-dependent, and reside in the /usr/platform/platform-name/lib/fs/ufs directory. The platform name can be found using the -i option of uname(1). OPERANDS bootblk The name of the bootblock code. raw-disk-device The name of the disk device onto which the bootblock code is to be installed; it must be a character device which is readable and writable. Naming conventions for a SCSI or IPI drive are c?t?d?s? and c?d?s? for an IDE drive. pboot The name of the partition boot file. EXAMPLES SPARC To install a ufs bootblock on slice 0 of target 0 on controller 1 of the platform where the command is being run, use: example# installboot /usr/platform/`uname -i`/lib/fs/ufs/bootblk \ /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s0 IA To use installboot to install the ufs bootblock and partition boot pro- gram on a disk in an IA machine, you must specify slice 2 and that slice must be the entire disk. For example, to install the UFS boot- block on target 0, controller 1 of the platform where the command is being run, use: example# installboot /usr/platform/`uname -i`/lib/fs/ufs/pboot \ /usr/platform/`uname -i`/lib/fs/ufs/bootblk /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s2 FILES /usr/platform/platform-name/lib/fs/ufs directory where ufs boot objects reside. /platform/platform-name/ufsboot second level program to boot from a disk or CD ATTRIBUTES See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes: +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ | ATTRIBUTE TYPE | ATTRIBUTE VALUE | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ |Availability |SUNWcsu | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ SEE ALSO od(1), uname(1), boot(1M), init(1M), kadb(1M), kernel(1M), reboot(1M), rpc.bootparamd(1M), init.d(4), attributes(5) Solaris 9 Installation Guide SPARC monitor(1M) IA fdisk(1M), fmthard(1M) WARNINGS The installboot utility fails if the bootblk, pboot or openfirmware files do not exist or if the raw disk device is not a character device.
