-.Dt INSTALLBOOT 8 sparc64
-.Os
-.Sh NAME
-.Nm installboot
-.Nd install a bootstrap on an FFS filesystem partition
-.Sh SYNOPSIS
-.Nm installboot
-.Op Fl nv
-.Ar bootblk
-.Ar device
-.Sh DESCRIPTION
-.Nm installboot
-prepares an FFS filesystem partition for boot-strapping from the PROM.
-The sparc64 boot process is split into two parts: a small first-stage bootblock
-that is written into the superblock area of a partition
-.Po
-and hence is limited in size to SBSIZE - DEV_BSIZE bytes
-.Pc ,
-and a second-stage boot program that resides in the filesystem proper.
-The first-stage bootblock is loaded into memory by the PROM.
-After it receives control, it loads the second-stage boot program
-.Ar ofwboot
-from the filesystem.
-The second-stage boot program uses the device driver interface to
-the PROM and the stand-alone filesystem code in
-.Dq libsa.a
-to locate and load the kernel.
-The first-stage bootblock and second-stage boot program can be found in
-.Pa /usr/mdec/bootblk
-and
-.Pa /usr/mdec/ofwboot
-respectively.
-The second-stage boot program commonly resides in the root directory as
-.Pa /ofwboot .
-.Pp
-The options are as follows:
-.Bl -tag -width flag
-.It Fl n
-Do not actually write anything on the disk.
-.It Fl v
-Verbose mode.
-.El
-.Pp
-The arguments are:
-.Bl -tag -width bootblk
-.It Ar bootblk
-The name of the file containing the first-stage bootblock.
-.It Ar device
-The name of the raw device in which the first-stage boot program
-is to be installed.
-This should correspond to the block device on which the file system containing
-.Ar ofwboot
-is mounted.
-.El
-.Sh EXAMPLES
-The following commands will install the first-stage bootblock in the
-root filesystem
-.Pq assumed to be mounted on Dq sd0a
-using the file
-.Pa /ofwboot
-as the second-stage boot program:
-.Bd -literal -offset indent
-# cp /usr/mdec/ofwboot /ofwboot
-# /usr/mdec/installboot /usr/mdec/bootblk sd0a
