-This document provides information on using common features in the
-.Nx
-boot loader.
-Additional information may be found in
-architecture-specific
-.Xr boot 8
-manual pages.
-.Ss Boot Protocol
-In the native
+.Tn Dreamcast
+consoles can only boot from the built-in
+.Tn GD-ROM
+drive.
+Insert a bootable CD-R containing the
.Nx
-boot protocol, options are passed from the boot loader
-to the kernel via flag bits in the
-.Va boothowto
-variable (see
-.Xr boothowto 9 ) .
-Some boot loaders may also support other boot protocols.
-.Ss Menu
-Some boot loaders may present a menu, which may be configured via
-.Xr boot.cfg 5 .
-.Ss Interactive mode
-In interactive mode, the boot loader will present a prompt, allowing
-input of these commands:
-.\" NOTE: much of this text is duplicated in architecture-specific
-.\" man pages (man8/man8.*/*boot*.8);
-.\" please try to keep all relevant files synchronized.
-.Bl -tag -width 04n -offset 04n
-.It Ic boot Oo Va device : Oc Ns Oo Va filename Oc Oo Fl 1234abcdmqsvxz Oc
-The default
-.Va device
-will be set to the disk that the boot loader was
-loaded from.
-To boot from an alternate disk, the full name of the device should
-be given at the prompt.
-.Va device
-is of the form
-.Xo Va xd
-.Op Va N Ns Op Va x
-.Xc
-where
-.Va xd
-is the device from which to boot,
-.Va N
-is the unit number, and
-.Va x
-is the partition letter.
-.Pp
-The following list of supported devices may vary from installation to
-installation:
-.Pp
-.Bl -hang -compact
-.It hd
-Hard disks.
-.It fd
-Floppy drives.
-.El
-.Pp
-The default
-.Va filename
-is
-.Pa netbsd ;
-if the boot loader fails to successfully
-open that image, it then tries
-.Pa netbsd.gz
-(expected to be a kernel image compressed by gzip), followed by
-.Pa netbsd.old ,
-.Pa netbsd.old.gz ,
-.Pa onetbsd ,
-and finally
-.Pa onetbsd.gz .
-Alternate system images can be loaded by just specifying the name of the image.
-.Pp
-Options are:
-.Bl -tag -width xxx
-.It Fl 1
-Sets the machine-dependent flag
-.Sy RB_MD1
-in
-.Va boothowto .
-.It Fl 2
-Sets the machine-dependent flag
-.Sy RB_MD2

-.Va boothowto .
-.It Fl 3
-Sets the machine-dependent flag
-.Sy RB_MD3
-in
-.Va boothowto .
-.It Fl 4
-Sets the machine-dependent flag
-.Sy RB_MD4
-in
-.Va boothowto .
-.It Fl a
-Sets the
-.Sy RB_ASKNAME
-flag in
-.Va boothowto .
-This causes the kernel to prompt for the root file system device,
-the system crash dump device, and the path to
-.Xr init 8 .
-.It Fl b
-Sets the
-.Sy RB_HALT
-flag in
-.Va boothowto .
-This causes subsequent reboot attempts to halt instead of rebooting.
-.It Fl c
-Sets the
-.Sy RB_USERCONF
-flag in
-.Va boothowto .
-This causes the kernel to enter the
-.Xr userconf 4
-device configuration manager as soon as possible during the boot.
-.Xr userconf 4
-allows devices to be enabled or disabled, and allows device locators
-(such as hardware addresses or bus numbers)
-to be modified before the kernel attempts to attach the devices.
-.It Fl d
-Sets the
-.Sy RB_KDB
-flag in
-.Va boothowto .
-Requests the kernel to enter debug mode, in which it
-waits for a connection from a kernel debugger; see
-.Xr ddb 4 .
-.It Fl m
-Sets the
-.Sy RB_MINIROOT
-flag in
-.Va boothowto .
-Informs the kernel that a mini-root file system is present in memory.
-.It Fl q
-Sets the
-.Sy AB_QUIET
-flag in
-.Va boothowto .
-Boot the system in quiet mode.
-.It Fl s
-Sets the
-.Sy RB_SINGLE
-flag in
-.Va boothowto .
-Boot the system in single-user mode.
-.It Fl v
-Sets the
-.Sy AB_VERBOSE
-flag in
-.Va boothowto .
-Boot the system in verbose mode.
-.It Fl x
-Sets the
-.Sy AB_DEBUG
-flag in
-.Va boothowto .
-Boot the system with debug messages enabled.
-.It Fl z
-Sets the
-.Sy AB_SILENT
-flag in
-.Va boothowto .
-Boot the system in silent mode.
