+.Os
+.Sh NAME
+.Nm boot
+.Nd Alpha system bootstrapping procedures
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Tn DEC
+.Tn Alpha
+systems can have either of two different firmware systems:
+.Tn ARC
+.Pq a.k.a. Tn AlphaBIOS ,
+and
+.Tn SRM .
+Some
+.Tn Alpha
+systems have both in their flash
+.Tn RAM
+and can switch between them on command.
+.Tn ARC
+is used to bootstrap Microsoft Windows NT for
+.Tn Alpha .
+.Tn SRM
+is used to bootstrap
+.Tn OpenVMS
+and
+.Tn Ultrix .
+.Nx
+requires
+.Tn SRM .
+.Pp
+.Tn SRM
+can bootstrap from supported local storage devices, e.g.,
+.Tn IDE
+disks or
+.Tn CD-ROM
+drives,
+.Tn SCSI
+disks or
+.Tn CD-ROM
+drives, and floppy drives.
+.Tn SRM
+can also network bootstrap via supported
+.Tn Ethernet
+interfaces, using
+.Tn BOOTP
+or
+.Tn MOP .
+The particular capabilities of
+.Tn SRM
+will vary from system to system.
+.Pp
+When
+.Tn SRM
+boots the system, it performs a Power On Self Test
+.Pq Tn POST ,
+probes the system busses to identify devices, and initializes them.
+.Tn SRM
+includes an x86 instruction emulator in order to run the
+.Tn BIOS
+initialization routines found in the
+.Tn PROM
+of any video cards found.
+In this way, most generic
+.Tn PCI
+video cards can work in
+.Tn Alpha
+systems that have
+.Tn PCI
+bus slots.
+.Pp
+.Tn SRM
+then examines the state of one of several variables:
+.Ev auto_action .
+If the value of
+.Ev auto_action
+is
+.Qq halt
+then
+.Tn SRM
+will stop, print its prompt:
+.Qq >>>
+and wait for commands to be entered on the console.
+If the value of
+.Ev auto_action
+is
+.Qq boot
+then
+.Tn SRM
+will automatically bootstrap the operating system specified by
+various non-volatile environment variables.
+.Pp
+.Tn SRM
+device names are not the same as in
+.Nx ,
+e.g.,
+.Sy ewa0
+is a
+.Tn DEC
+.Qq tulip
+.Tn Ethernet
+interface,
+.Sy dka0
+is a
+.Tn SCSI
+disk on a recognized controller,
+.Sy dqa0
+is an
+.Tn IDE
+disk on a recognized controller.
+The
+.Ic show device
+command will list all the devices that
+.Tn SRM
+can bootstrap from.
+.Ss SRM Commands
+.Tn SRM
+is somewhat
+.Ux Ns No -like
+in that it incorporates a simple pipe and I/O redirection,
+which allows command sequences like:
+.Pp
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+show config | more
+show * | more
+.Ed
+.Pp
+An essential but incomplete list of
+.Tn SRM
+commands follows:
+.\" .Pp

+.Pp
+The

+.Tn SRM
+firmware is picky about

+.It Ev os_type
+This determines which system firmware will be used after the next

+This should be set to any of
+.Qq Ux ,

+to select the

+console required for
+.Nx .
+.Tn OSF
+refers to the Open Software Foundation.
+.El
+.Ss After bootstrap
+Once the
+.Nx Ns Tn /alpha
+kernel is booted normally
+it initializes itself and proceeds to start the system.
+An automatic consistency check of the file systems takes place,
+and unless this fails, the system comes up to multi-user operation.
+.Pp
+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 crash occurred during initialization and the debugger is
+not present or is exited, the kernel will halt the system.
+.Pp
+If the crash occurred during normal operation and the debugger
+is not present or 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 bootstrap cycle), and after the dump is complete (successful
+or not) the kernel will attempt a reboot.

+.Op Fl nv
+.Ar infile
+.Op Ar outfile
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+utility creates bootable image files from
+.Nx Ns Tn /alpha
+bootstrap programs.
+Bootable image files can be placed directly on disk or tape to
+create bootable media which can be booted by the SRM console.
+This is primarily useful for creating bootable tapes or disk sets
+with the
+.Pa /usr/mdec/ustarboot
+bootstrap program, or for creating firmware upgrade media
+using firmware upgrade programs.
+.Pp
+The bootstrap program
+.Ar infile
+is padded to a 512-byte boundary, has a properly formed
+Alpha Boot Block prepended, and is written to the output file
+.Ar outfile .
+If no output file is specified, the result is written to
+standard output.
+.Pp
+The
+.Nm
+utility does not install bootstrap programs to make
+disks bootable.
+To do that, use
+.Xr installboot 8 .
+Similarly, it is not necessary to use
+.Nm
+to create images to boot over the network; network-capable
+bootstrap programs are usable without modification.
+.Pp
+The options recognized by
+.Nm
+are as follows:
+.Bl -tag -width flag
+.It Fl n
+Do not actually write the result to the output file or

+.Fl a Ar ether-address | Fl h Ar ether-host
+.Oc
+.Ar infile
+.Nm /usr/mdec/setnetbootinfo
+.Op Fl v
+.Fl u o Ar outfile Ar infile
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm setnetbootinfo
+utility configures the
+.Nx Ns Tn /alpha
+network bootstrap program so
+that it can be used to bootstrap systems with old firmware revisions.
+.Pp
+The
+.Nx Ns Tn /alpha
+network bootstrap program needs to have the ethernet
+address of the interface being used to boot the system available when
+querying other hosts on the network for bootstrapping information.
+Alpha systems with old firmware revisions provide no way for
+network bootstrap programs to determine the ethernet address of
+the interface that they are booting from, and so the
+.Nx Ns Tn /alpha
+network bootstrap program must find that information in another way.
+(Newer firmware revisions include the ethernet address in the name of
+the device that is being booted from.)
+The
+.Nm
+utility encodes an ethernet address (and other information) directly
+into the network bootstrap program.
+.Pp
+The options recognized by
+.Nm
+are as follows:
+.Bl -tag -width flag
+.It Fl a Ar ether-address
+Encode the given ethernet address into the network bootstrap program.
+(This option and the
+.Fl h
+option are mutually exclusive.)
+.It Fl f
+Force the address information being encoded in the bootstrap
+program to be used regardless of whether or not the bootstrap
+program can get address information from the booting system's
+firmware.
+.It Fl h Ar ether-host
+Encode the ethernet address of the specified host into the network
+bootstrap program.  The host's name is translated to an ethernet
+address using the
+.Xr ether_hostton 3
+function.
+(This option and the
+.Fl a
+option are mutually exclusive.)
+.It Fl o Ar outfile
+Output the resulting bootstrap program into the file named by
+.Ar outfile ,
+replacing it if it already exists.  If the
+.Fl o
+flag is not specified, the output file name will be
+the name of the input bootstrap program concatenated with a
+period and the digits of the ethernet address being encoded.
+For instance, if the input file is named
+.Pa /usr/mdec/netboot
+and is being configured to encode the ethernet address
+.Li 08:00:2b:bd:5d:fd ,
+then the default output file name would be
+.Pa /usr/mdec/netboot.08002bbd5dfd .
+It is safe to set the output file name to be the same as the
+input file name; the input file is read in its entirety before
+the output file is modified.
+.It Fl u
+Remove configuration information from the specified network
+bootstrap program.  If this option is used, an output file name must be
+specified with the
+.Fl o
+option, and neither the
+.Fl a
+or the
+.Fl h
+options may be specified.
+.It Fl v
