boot [options]

Loads an object file from the LIF file system
on the flash card or boot disk and transfers

options, the boot command boots the

which is normally /stand/vmunix. See

can be used with this command. NOTE:
boot and go are interchangeable; they both
execute the same command.
clear Clears the values of all the boot parameters.
env Shows the current boot parameter settings.
help Lists the bootloader commands and
available options.
ls Lists the contents of the LIF file system on a
flash card or boot disk in a format similar to
the ls -l command. See the ls(1) man page.
