Booting The System - Nokia IP100 Series Installation Manual

Using Boot Manager

Booting the System

54
The boot command lets you boot up the operating system (IPSO). The
boot command allows you to set the boot device, boot file, and boot
flags from the command line.
The command has the following form:
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:
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
argument, the boot manager uses its default, as shown in Table C-2.
Table C-2. Boot Manager Argument Defaults
Argument
boot-device
boot-file
boot-flags
Boot Manager first searches its non-volatile memory to see if the
corresponding default argument is specified there. If so, it uses that value;
if not, it uses these defaults.
Default
wd0 (the hard disk)
/image/current/kernel
none
