+.Nm boot

+system bootstrapping procedures
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Ss Power fail and crash recovery
+Normally, the
+.Ox
+kernel on the Amiga architecture is booted from the native operating
+system by means of an application program.
+When the kernel takes over,
+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 8 ,
+if it is configured in the kernel.
+If the debugger is not present
+or has 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 completes (successful
+or not), the system will attempt a reboot.
+.Pp
+.Pp
+.Ss The boot application
+The boot application runs in the native OS on the system.
+It has a
+dialog where booting preferences may be changed and an option whereby
+these options may be saved.
+The preferences are stored in the program
+itself, not in a preferences folder, thus allowing two separate copies
+of the program to be configured differently (e.g., to boot different
+bsd or bsd.test, or to boot from two different drives).
+.Pp
+One option that may be specified is a boot to single-user mode.
+This stops the boot process very early on and allows system maintenance.
+If one wishes to provide some security at this phase of the boot, remove
+the
+.Dq secure
+option from ttye0 in the
+.Xr ttys 5
+file.
+.Pp
+Another useful option that may be specified is the
+.Dq serial console
+option.
+This will allow a serial device (terminal or computer) to
+act as a console for the system.
+This device must be configured to
+use 9600 baud, eight bits, no parity, and one stop bit (9600-8N1).
+Either the printer port or the modem port (tty01 and tty00,
+respectively) may be used for this.
+.Pp
+It is sometimes useful to boot a kernel that resides in a folder
+in native OS rather than from the usual location in the
+.Ox
+file system.
+A radio button is supplied for this purpose.
+Note that some programs will not run properly if the kernel is not found as
+.Pa /bsd
+within the
+.Ox
+file system.
