Table 5–5: BOOT Command Qualiﬁers

Qualiﬁer Function

/X[MI]:number Speciﬁes the XMI node number of the node that con-

nects the boot device.

/R5:number Speciﬁes the hexadecimal value to be loaded into register R5 im-

mediately before the virtual memory boot (VMB) program re-

ceives control. Use as a bit mask to select VMB op-

tions and to set the system root directory. See Ap-

pendix F.

/R3:number Speciﬁes the hexadecimal value to be loaded into regis-

ter R3 immediately before the virtual memory boot (VMB) pro-

gram receives control. This qualiﬁer is used when multi-

ple unit numbers must be speciﬁed: for example, when boot-

ing from VMS shadow sets. If /R3 is speciﬁed, the unit num-

ber portion of the device name is ignored.

/N[ODE]:number Speciﬁes the remote node(s) that provide access to the boot de-

vice. The /XMI (and optionally /BI) qualiﬁers must have iden-

tiﬁed a controller that supports "nodes" such as a VAXclus-

ter adapter. The /NODE qualiﬁer would then specify the VAX-

cluster node number(s) of the HSC controlling the boot de-

vice.

/B[I]:number Speciﬁes a VAXBI node that connects the boot device.

The /XMI qualiﬁer must have selected a node contain-

ing a DWMBB/A.

/FILE[NAME]:ﬁle Speciﬁes the ﬁle name used to boot from an Ethernet-

based server. The ﬁle name can be 1 to 16 charac-

ters in length.

/D[SSI_NODE]:number Speciﬁes the DSSI node that provides access to the boot de-

vice. The /XMI qualiﬁer must have selected a node contain-

ing a KFMSA adapter.

/PO[RT]:number Speciﬁes DSSI port 1 or 2 on the KFMSA adapter.
