Appendix E: Formattig Flash and SRAM
/F<name> <size>
File Output Flag. Outputs the disk image to the file <name> with
size <size>. <size> is a hex value that specifies the number of
Kbytes in the target file. This option is useful for creating VME
memory disks and images for users that are going to write their own
flash writing program, and is not strictly applicable to only the
EXM-2A, but is documented here for completeness.
/H
Help Flag. Displays a list of available flags and their options.
/N=<ver>
Non-Boot Version Flag. Creates a bootable disk image using the
boot block file specified by the <ver> parameter. (The location of
the boot block file is specified by /B or /S flags.) This option is
useful for creating bootable flash disks from non-bootable sources
such as network and RAM disk drives (see Appendix B for more
information on creating bootable images from non-bootable disks).
The boot block file for /N=5 is BB5.00 (DOS 5) and the boot
block file for /N=6 is BB6.00 (DOS 6.X). The boot block files are
supplied on the distribution diskette.
This operation fails if it cannot find the operating system files.
This flag is for use with flash disks only.
/P=<slot>
Position Flag. The slot number specified is the EXM slot number
where the EPC-24/25/26 is located in the chassis.
/Q=m
Quiet Mode Flag. Suppresses progress display messages. May be
combined with the No Reboot Flag (i.e., /Q=mr).
/Q=r
No Reboot Flag. Suppresses reboot upon successful completion.
May be combined with the Quiet Mode Flag (i.e., /Q=rm).
It is necessary to flush the DOS buffer areas prior to accessing
newly formatted disks. This is accomplished by rebooting. This
reboot suppression flag is strictly for use when XFORMAT is used
in a batch file where the reboot command is at the end of the batch
file.
