Table C-3. Supported Arguments for the boot Command

Argument Description
–a Aborts any delayed boots that are pending.
–d Causes a dump before rebooting.
–h Returns to ROM monitor prompt if the RA 6300 is in Test
mode.
–l Boots the operational image and stores it on local media; for
use with the stand-alone file system. Only ROM revisions
0600 and greater with the self-boot option loaded support –l.
After a boot –l is executed, the ls command may not show the
newly-loaded image.
–q Causes a boot without sending a warning message.
HH:MM The exact clock time for the boot, e.g., 15:15 indicates 3:15
p.m.
+HH:MM The number of hours and minutes before the boot takes place,
e.g., +2:15 indicates a boot will occur in two hours and fifteen
minutes.
annex_list Specifies the RA 6300s to be booted. If you do not include an
annex_list, the command prompts for it. Pressing the Return
key accepts the default annex_list.
filename Identifies the name of the file in which the RA 6300's image is
maintained. If you do not enter a filename, the RA 6300
prompts for one. Pressing the Return key at the prompt
directs the RA 6300 to boot the default filename. This
filename is the value of the RA 6300 image_name parameter,
or, if that is not set, the name oper.63.enet.
warning Allows an additional 249-character message. Warning
messages are sent out to users periodically. If you do not
specify a time delay or message, the boot command generates
an automatic warning message.
