3.2 Customize the Default Boot Configuration File
When you followed the software installation procedures in Chapter 2, the default boot
configuration files were installed in the
freeway/boot directory on the boot server. The
boot configuration files are:
• bootcfg.ip for any Freeway with ICP_IPs (virtual ICP devices)
• bootcfg.isa for a Freeway 1100 with ICP2424s (ISAbus boards)
• bootcfg.pci for a Freeway 1100/1150/1200/1300 with ICP2432s (PCI boards)
• bootcfg.vme for Freeway 2000/4000/8800s
Note
On UNIX systems, all default directories are installed under the
/usr/local/freeway directory. On VMS systems, all default directories
are installed under the directory named
SYS$SYSDEVICE: [FREE-
WAY]
. For Windows NT versions earlier than 4.0, the default
directory is
C:\freeway. For Windows NT 4.0 or later, use the alias
you have set up to point to the freeway directory.
During the boot process, Freeway uses the boot configuration file to configure physical
and virtual devices, services, and corresponding databases prior to downloading the
software to the ICPs. See Section 4.3.1 on page 122 for a complete description of the
boot process.
Figure 3–1 shows a sample boot configuration file that configures two ICPs in a Free-
way server. This file enables Freeway to download X.25 software to an ICP with device
name
icp0 and download FMP software to an ICP with device name icp1. (The intro-
ductory comments from the beginning of the file have been omitted.)
