.SH NAME
\f4fltboot\f1 \- set default boot parameters
.SH SYNOPSIS
\f4/usr/sbin/fltboot\f1
.SH DESCRIPTION
The \f4fltboot\f1 command provides the supporting routines
for setting or modifying the default boot parameters of
the AT&T 3B2 Computer, which are held in Non-Volatile RAM (NVRAM) in firmware.
The boot parameters are the default boot program
and the default boot device.
.P
The \f4fltboot\f1 command is interactive, so no command line parameters are
required.
Two prompts are displayed, one for changing the default boot program, and
one for changing the default boot device.
Pressing RETURN without entering a value
at either prompt leaves the current value unchanged.
.P
The default boot program name appears within brackets in the following
firmware prompt:
.P
.in +.5i
\f4Enter name of program to execute [  ]:\f1
.in -.5i
.P
As delivered, the default boot program name is NULL, as evidenced by the
empty brackets above (i.e., there is no default in the delivered
system, a file name must be entered).
.P
The default boot device appears within brackets in the following
firmware prompt:
.P
.in +.5i
\f4Enter Load Device Option Number [1 (HD72)]:\f1
.in -.5i
.P
The number and device in brackets indicate the default boot device
(\f4HD72\fP in the above example).
As delivered,
the default boot device is your hard disk (normally the first hard disk
connected to the first integral disk controller, if you have more than
one).
.P
Pressing RETURN at either prompt invokes the default value shown in
brackets.
A NULL boot program name results in the listing of the contents of the
first \f4stand\f1 partition on the chosen device (after the Load
Device is entered).
