Bootptab File Example
The option used here for the NFS root directory is the
T17
entry, which is of the
form
IPADDR:/PATH
. The
IPADDR
entry is the IP address of the NFS server and
PATH
is the full pathname on that server to what will be the root directory of the
network boot directory tree. (The quotation marks are required in the
T17
entry to
allow the colon in the option data to be passed as part of the data.)
Note
IMPORTANT!
The addresses of servers that support
the terminal boot process must be specified by IP
address. This is because the name resolution function
is not operational until the system is completely loaded
and initialized.
