+.Os +.Sh NAME +.Nm boot_hppa +.Nd hppa system bootstrapping procedures +.Sh DESCRIPTION +.Ss System starts +When powered on, after a panic, or if the system is rebooted via +.Xr reboot 8 +or +.Xr shutdown 8 , +the hppa firmware +.Pq Dq PDC +will proceed to its initialization, and will boot an operating system +if autoboot is enabled. +.\" +.Ss Boot process description +System boot blocks are provided as a +.Dq LIF +.Pq Logical Interchange Format +archive, either on a disk, tape or CD-ROM device, +or via the network, using the +.Em bootp +protocol. +A small +.Xr mkboot 8 +utility +is provided for combining primary boot and a number +of images (OS kernels or standalone binaries) +into one +.Dq LIF +volume suitable for booting. +.Ss PDC concepts +If autoboot is enabled, the PDC will attempt to boot from the specified +.Dq boot path +value. +If no +.Dq boot path +has been specified, the PDC will then scan for bootable devices and +boot from the first found, after a few seconds allowing the user to +interrupt the boot process. +If autoboot is disabled, the PDC will enter interactive mode, after an +optional device scan. +In all cases, it is possible to enter interactive mode by holding the +escape key during the selftests, or when prompted to do so to abort +the current operation, unless the PDC has been configured in +.Dq secure mode . +.\" +.Ss ISL interaction +.Dq ISL +stands for +.Dq Initial System Loader +and is the +.Xr boot 8 +program in +.Ox . +On all versions of the PDC the +.Dq boot +command (see below) will be followed by the question: +.Dq Interact with IPL (Y, N, or Cancel)?> +where a positive answer will invoke an interactive prompt in the +.Xr boot 8 +program later and negative will thus suppress it. +A cancellation will abort the boot process. +.Pp +With the default behaviour being a non-interactive boot process. +.\" +.Ss PDC operation +There is only one interactive mode, with a +.Em BOOT_ADMIN> +prompt, which provides both boot settings and commands. +The complete list of commands depends on the machine and PDC version. +The following list only mentions commands impacting the boot process. +.Bl -tag -width auto\ search -offset indent +.It Ic auto boot +Displays or changes the autoboot setting. +If +.Ic auto boot +is set to +.Dq on , +the PDC will always attempt to boot. +The booted device chosen will depend on the +.Ic auto search +setting. +.It Ic auto search +Displays or changes the device scan setting. +If +.Ic auto search +is set to +.Dq on , +the PDC will attempt to boot the first bootable device found in +this order: +.Bl -enum -offset indent -compact +.It +Boot device +.Em path +setting. +.It +.Tn SCSI +devices connected to the built-in +.Tn SCSI +controller, +the highest ID numbers being preferred. +.It +Network +.Em bootp +server (see also +.Xr dhcpd 8 ) . +.It +Other +.Tn SCSI +devices connected to secondary controllers, +the highest ID numbers being preferred. +.El +If +.Ic auto search +is set to +.Dq off +and the primary boot path points to a bootable device, +no device scan will occur. +.Pp +Note that setting +.Ic auto search +to +.Dq on +will force autoboot, regardless of the +.Ic auto boot +value. +.It Ic boot +Boots off the specified device. +The +.Dq primary +and +.Dq alternate +path settings may be booted with +.Ic boot Ar pri +and +.Ic boot Ar alt +respectively. +.It Ic path +Displays or changes the boot and console devices. +The boot device is defined as the +.Dq primary +path, and another setting may be stored as the +.Dq alternate +path for rescue purposes. +For example, to define the primary boot path to the +.Tn SCSI +disk with ID 5 connected to the built-in controller, one would enter +.Ic path pri Ar scsi.5 . +.Pp +When invoked without parameters, +.Ic path +will list the various path settings. +.El +.\" +.Ss Boot process options +The +.Ox +hppa boot loader program is extensively described in a separate document, +.Xr boot 8 . +.Ss Abnormal system termination +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. +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 multi-user boot cycle), and after the dump is complete +(successful or not) the kernel will attempt a reboot. +.Sh FILES +.Bl -tag -width
