DESCRIPTION
The dns-bootparams program is used to generate the /etc/bootparams entries from DNS tables.If the input file is not named, or the name '-' is used, the standard input is read.
If the output file is not named, or the name '-' is used, the startdard output is written.
BOOTPARAM TYPES
The ``bootparam'' class has the following types:- aarch
- The application architecture. Expects one argument. Legal values are ``sparc'' or ``i386''. Usually used to substitute into other records. This can usually be derived from ``in hinfo'' records if not supplied, so it commonly is not given explicitly. Can still be used in $substitutions even if derived from the ``in hinfo'' records.
- boottype
- The boot type. Expects one argument. Legal values are ``in'' and nothing else.
- display
- Used for i386/i86pc.
- install
- The server and path of the Solaris CD image. Often contains $substitutions from other records, particularly $server and $aarch.
- install_config
- Expects two arguments. The server and path of the directory containing the install rules script. Often contains $substitutions from other records, particularly $server.
- karch
- The kernel architecture. Expects one argument. Legal values include: ``i86pc'', ``sun4'', ``sun4c'', ``sun4m'', etc.
- keyboard
- Used for i386/i86pc.
- mouse
- Used for i386/i86pc.
- root
- Expects two arguments. The server and path of the root directory to mount as a diskless client while installing solaris on the native disk. Often contains $substitutions from other records, particularly $server, $aarch and $karch.
- server
- The name of the install server. Expects one argument. Used to parameterise other records.
- term
- The terminal type. Expects one argument. Legal values are terminal names from termcap, usually ``sun''. Specifying this makes install much faster.
THE * DEFAULT
The special host name ``*'' may be used to specify defaults. These may be over-riden by specific entries. The most recently see default of each type anme is remembered. This may be exploited, for example, to set different servers and gateways for different networks.Substitutions are performed after the defaults are applied, so that root, for example, may contain $substitutions. It is usually sufficient to have a single ``karch'' record trigger the entire bootparam entry in the output.
