NAME¶
bootparamd —
boot parameter server
SYNOPSIS¶
rpc.bootparamd |
[-d] [-s]
[-r router]
[-f file] |
DESCRIPTION¶
bootparamd is a server process that provides information
to diskless clients necessary for booting. It consults the
/etc/bootparams file to find the information it needs.
This version will allow the use of aliases on the hostname in the
/etc/bootparams file. The returned hostname to the
whoami request done by the booting client will be the name that appears in
/etc/bootparams and not the canonical name. In this
way you can keep the answer short enough so that machines that cannot handle
long hostnames won't fail during boot.
OPTIONS¶
-d- Display debugging information.
-s- Log the debugging information to syslog.
-r
router- The default router (a machine or an IP-address). This defaults to the
machine running the server.
-f
file- The file to use as boot parameter file instead of /etc/bootparams.
BUGS¶
You may find the syslog loggings too verbose.
