+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+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
+.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

+.It Fl 3
+Sets the machine-dependent flag
+.Sy RB_MD3

+.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.

+.Sh BUGS
+The kernel file name must be specified before, not after, the boot options.
+Any
+.Ar filename
+specified after the boot options, e.g.:
+.Pp
+.Bd -unfilled -offset indent -compact
+.Cm boot -d netbsd.test
+.Ed
+.Pp
+is ignored, and the default kernel is booted.
