NAME

bootflags − display/change system boot flags

SYNOPSIS

bootflags [-p] [-c] [-v] [flag=value] ... 

DESCRIPTION

Bootflags displays or changes the flags that control system boot and reboot actions.  Unless the −p option is specified, only the temporary flags are affected. 

−p Display or change the permanent boot flags rather than the temporary boot flags. 

−c Copy temporary boot flags to the permanent boot flags.  If the −p flag is given, copy the permanent boot flags into the temporary boot flags.  The copy is done after all the changes to flags have been made. 

−v Display the flags after they have been changed. 

The assignments are as follows.  All numeric values (f, ra0, ra1), are assumed to be in decimal unless they start with “0x”, in which case they are taken in hexadecimal.  String values (n0, n1), are taken literally as character strings. 

assignment effect

n0=string Change primary boot name to string. 

n1=string Change secondary boot name to string. 

f=n Set boot flags to n. 

ra0=n Change primary reboot reconfiguration structure address to n. 

ra1=n Change secondary reboot reconfiguration structure address to n. 

For example, to change the permanent boot flags so that the secondary boot name is “sd(48,0)stand/dump sd(48,1) 1000 /dev/sd0b”, and the secondary reboot reconfiguration structure address is 0x30000,

bootflags -p ’n1=sd(48,0)stand/dump sd(48,1) 1000 /dev/sd0b’ ’ra1=0x30000’

Note the use of quotes to collect the arguments of the assignments together.
