NAME

       bootparams — boot parameter database

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/bootparams

DESCRIPTION

       The bootparams file specifies the boot parameters that diskless clients may request when booting over the
       network.   Each  client supported by this server must have an entry in the bootparams file containing the
       pathnames for its root and (optionally) swap areas.

       Each line in the file (other than comment lines that begin with a #) specifies the client  name  followed
       by  the  pathnames  that  the  client may request by their logical names.  The components of the line are
       delimited with blank or tab, and may be continued onto multiple lines with a backslash.

       For example:

             dummy   root=host:/export/dummy/root \
                     swap=host:/export/dummy/swap \
                     dump=host:/export/dummy/swap

       When the client named "dummy" requests the pathname for its logical "root" it will be given the  pathname
       “host:/export/dummy/root” as the response to its RPC request.  The "host:" component must be supplied.
