Booting the System
The boot command lets you boot up the Nokia IPSO operating system. It
allows you to set the boot device, boot file, and boot flags from the command
line.
The command has the following syntax:
boot boot-device boot-file boot-flags
where boot-device is the storage device from which the operating system
loads at boot up, and boot-file is the operating system kernel. The boot-flags
control the operation of the command.
For example, at the boot manager command prompt enter the following:
BOOTMGR[0]> boot wd0 /image/current/mykernel -vd
This command boots mykernel from disk wd0 in verbose and debug mode.
You can supply all, any, or none of the arguments. If you do not supply an

memory to see if the corresponding default argument is specified there. If so,
it uses that value; if not, it defaults to the values in the following table:
