netboot
netboot
The netboot command downloads the specified file through the Ethernet port and
begins execution of that file.
Format
netboot [file [address]]
Parameters
file
Specifies a legal file name to be downloaded to the motherboard. The default is to
load the file specified in the bootptab file.
address
Specifies the address at which to download the file. The default is the boot address.
Description
The netboot command uses BOOTP to download the specified file through the
Ethernet port. The Ethernet port is selected through the edevice command. The
downloaded file automatically begins execution in PALmode. This command has the
same effect as using the netload command followed by the jtopal command.
A default file and directory path may be defined in the bootptab file. See
Section 2.3.4.2 for more information.
If you specify an address, this address becomes the default boot address. This value,
however, is not set in battery-backed RAM.
