-.Sh NAME
-.Nm boot.com
-.Nd Boot an OpenBSD kernel from MS-DOS
-.Sh SYNOPSIS
-.Nm BOOT
-.Sh DESCRIPTION
-The
-.Nm
-utility, executed from an MS-DOS prompt, will load a kernel stored
-in the DOS partition, effectively booting OpenBSD. There are no
-command line arguments.
-.Pp
-.Nm
-functions identically to the standalone bootblocks, except that it
-only loads files on a DOS partition. After printing the `Boot:'
-prompt, there is a timeout of several seconds. If no key is pressed in
-that time, the default kernel
-.Em bsd
-is loaded from the root directory of the DOS C: partition.
-.Sh CAVEATS
-The file
-.Pa /usr/mdec/boot.com
-and a valid kernel file must be copied to the root directory
-of the DOS C: partition.
-.Pp
-If the desired FFS root filesystem is not on the first drive in the
-system, the
-.Fl r
-flag (use the kernel's compiled-in default root device)
-must be supplied when booting the kernel, i.e.:
-.Pp
-.Bd -literal -offset indent
-Boot: [[[wd(0,a)]bsd][-abcdrs]] : bsd -r
-.Ed
-.Sh BUGS
-.Nm
-will not load kernels compressed with
-.Xr gzip 1 ,
-or ramdisk kernels larger than 3M in size.
-.Pp
-.Nm
-always assumes the kernel is in the root directory of the DOS drive; to
-load a kernel from the current directory, the name must be entered at
-the `Boot:' prompt with no leading slashes.
-.Pp
-Loading a kernel from anywhere
-other than the root directory or the current directory is not supported.
-.Sh FILES
-.Pa /usr/mdec/boot.com
