+kernel is booted normally (using one of the two methods discussed below), +it initializes itself and proceeds to boot the system. +An automatic consistency check of the file systems takes place, +and unless this fails, the system comes up to multi-user operations. +The proper way to shut the system down is with the +.Xr shutdown 8 +command. +.Pp +If the system crashes, it will enter the kernel debugger, +.Xr ddb 4 , +if it is configured in the kernel. +If the debugger is not present, +or the debugger is exited, the system will attempt a dump to the +configured dump device (which will be automatically recovered with +.Xr savecore 8 +during the next boot cycle). +After the dump is complete (successful +or not), the system will attempt a reboot. +.Ss Booting NetBSD using the bootloader +When a bootable +.Nx +partition is created by means of HDTOOLBOX or another RDB editing program +and a bootblock has been copied there by +.Xr amiga/installboot 8 +and the boot priority of the +.Nx +partition is either the highest or the +.Nx +partition is selected by means of the boot menu, +the Amiga ROM will automatically start the +.Nx +bootloader. +By default it will, after a short timeout, load the kernel image +.Pa /netbsd +and attempt to boot it into multi-user mode. +This behaviour can be changed by +typing in an alternate command sequence. +The command line looks like: +.Bd -ragged -offset indent +.Ar kernel-path +.Op Fl abkpqsvACDS +.Op Fl c Ar model +.Op Fl m Ar memsize +.Op Fl n Ar memsegments +.Op Fl I Ar mask +.Ed +.Bl -tag -width flag +.It kernel-path +This gives you the
