-<p class="Pp"><code class="Nm">dosboot</code> is an MS-DOS program. It is a boot
- loader for <span class="Ux">NetBSD</span>/x86 designed to permit
- <span class="Ux">NetBSD</span> to be booted directly from MS-DOS. By
- default, it boots a file with name <span class="Pa">NETBSD</span> in the
- current MS-DOS directory. <code class="Nm">dosboot</code> shares common code
- with the standard boot loader, <a class="Xr">x86/boot(8)</a>.</p>

- (after <code class="Fl">-u</code> or after a <code class="Ic">mode

- system is expected. By default, the file is looked up in partition
- &#x2018;a&#x2019; of the first hard disk. Another device or partition can
- be specified by prepending a block device name in terms of

-<p class="Pp">In UFS mode, files can only be loaded from devices known to the

- by the booted <span class="Ux">NetBSD</span> kernel.</p>
-<p class="Pp">In MS-DOS mode, no useful boot device specification is passed to
