cpboot (copy_boot) - copy the system boot file sysboot
usage: cpboot  source_dir  target_dir | -dev ct



DESCRIPTION
     cpboot copies the system boot file sysboot from one directory to another.
     The sysboot file is used by the bootstrap prom to start the system.
     cpboot is useful for copying sysboot to a floppy disk, thus making the
     standalone utilities (sau) directory on the floppy disk accessible from
     the boot prom.  You may also use it to update a Winchester disk when a
     new software release is distributed.

     If you wish to build a bootable cartridge tape, -dev ct should be
     specified in  place of the target directory. This will copy ctboot -- the
     cartridge tape version of sysboot -- from  the  source  directory
     (usually  /sys) onto  the beginning  of  the  cartridge tape.  (Note:
     subsequent wbaks to the tape should use the -sysboot option to avoid
     overwriting ctboot on the tape.)

     source_directory (required)
                         Specify directory containing the file sysboot.

     target_directory    Specify directory to which sysboot is to be copied.
                         This must be the entry directory on the target
                         logical volume.

     -dev ct             Specify  that you wish to build a bootable cartridge
                         tape.  This  option  must   be   specified   if   you
                         omit   the target_directory argument.
