Boot Parameter Description

Boot Device To boot over Ethernet from the boot server using the primary Ethernet (on the CPU

board), set the boot device to fei or fei0. To boot over Ethernet from the boot server

using the secondary Ethernet board, set the boot device to fei1. To boot from the local

disk, set the boot device to ide=0,0.

Processor Number The only valid number for this parameter is 0.

FTP User Name If booting from the boot server, Freeway uses this name to log in to its FTP (or RSH)

user account. The default is freeway. This is not required if you are booting from the

local disk.

FTP Password If booting from the boot server, Freeway uses this password to log in to its user account.

The default is password. This parameter is optional. If a password is given, FTP is

used during system boot; if it is cleared, the remote shell (RSH) protocol is used.

Flags This parameter speciﬁes whether you want Freeway to:

• Autoboot two seconds after system reset, seven seconds after system reset, or not

at all

• Force the primary boot network interface to operate at 10 megabits/second, half

duplex

Enter the Flags value shown in Table 4-2 that matches your conﬁguration

requirements. The default Flags value is 0. The Flags word is an inclusive "OR" of the

desired bits for the individual functions.

Freeway Server Name Enter the system name assigned by the system administrator for this Freeway.

Freeway Inet Address Enter the Internet address assigned by the system administrator for this Freeway in

decimal dot notation (for example, 192.168.1.193).

Freeway Subnet Mask If your Freeway is located on a subnet, enter the subnet mask in hexa- decimal notation

(for example, ffffff00).
