By sending a .Dq break to the serial line during the initialization sequence, it is possible to stop the boot process and interact with the .Tn BUG . .Ss Warm starts After a panic, or if the system is rebooted via .Xr reboot 8 or .Xr shutdown 8 , the .Tn BUG firmware will only restart the operating system if autoboot is enabled and .Dq Auto Boot at power-up only is disabled in the .Tn BUG environment. .Ss Boot process options The .Tn BUG firmware will let the user enter a boot device identification, kernel filename and boot options. If no filename is specified, .Pa /bsd will be used by default. .Pp The following boot options are recognized: .Bl -tag -width "-XXX" -offset indent -compact .Pp .It Fl a Prompt for the root filesystem device after the devices have been configured. .It Fl b On the next system reboot, always halt the system, even if a reboot is required. .It Fl c Enter the .Dq User Kernel Configuration mode upon startup .Pq see Xr boot_config 8 . .It Fl d Enter the debugger, .Xr ddb 4 , as soon as the kernel console has been initialized. .It Fl s Boot the system single-user. The system will be booted multi-user unless this option is specified. .El .Ss Abnormal system termination In case of system crashes, the kernel will usually enter the kernel debugger, .Xr ddb 4 , unless it is not present in the kernel, or it is disabled via the .Em ddb.panic sysctl. Upon leaving ddb, or if ddb was not entered, the kernel will halt the system if it was still in device configuration phase, or attempt a dump to the configured dump device, if possible. The crash dump will then be recovered by .Xr savecore 8 during the next multi-user boot cycle. It is also possible to force other behaviours from ddb. .Sh FILES .Bl -tag -width /usr/mdec/installboot -compact .It Pa /bsd default system kernel .It Pa /usr/mdec/bootxx primary bootstrap code for .Dq ffs file system on SCSI disks .It Pa /usr/mdec/bootsd secondary bootstrap code for SCSI disks (usually also installed as .Pa /bootsd ) .It Pa /usr/mdec/bootst SCSI tape bootstrap code .It Pa /usr/mdec/netboot network bootstrap code .\" .It Pa /usr/mdec/sboot .\" network bootstrap code in S-Records, for older .\" .Tn BUG .\" firmware lacking the .\" .Li NBO .\" command. .\" .It Pa /usr/mdec/rboot .\" network bootstrap code in S-Records, suitable for user eeprom burning. .It Pa /usr/mdec/tftpboot tftp-only network bootstrap code .It Pa /usr/mdec/stboot .Tn Motorola VID block put as first file on bootable SCSI tapes .El .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr ddb 4 , .Xr boot_config 8 , .Xr halt 8 , .Xr init 8 , .Xr installboot 8 , .Xr reboot 8 , .Xr savecore 8 , .Xr shutdown 8
