Booting the System Booting the System The boot command lets you boot up the operating system (IPSO). It allows you to set the boot device, boot file, and boot flags from the command line. The command has the following syntax: boot boot-device boot-file boot-flags where boot-device is the storage device from which the operating system loads at boot up, and boot-file is the operating system kernel. The boot-flags control the operation of the command. Refer to the boot flag table in "Variables" on page 82. For example, at the boot manager command prompt enter the following: BOOTMGR[0]> boot wd0 /image/current/mykernel -vd This command boots mykernel from disk wd0 in verbose and debug mode. You can supply all, any, or none of the arguments. If you do not supply an argument, the boot manager uses its default. It first searches its nonvolatile memory to see if the corresponding default argument is specified there. If so, it uses that value; if not, it defaults to the values in the following table: Argument boot-device boot-file boot-flags Default wd0 (the hard-disk drive) /image/current/kernel -x Using the Boot Manager to Install IPSO Use the install command to install IPSO. The syntax of the command is: install For complete installation procedures, refer to the appropriate version of release notes. Nokia IP300 Series Security Platform Installation Guide 89

Booting the System
The
boot
command lets you boot up the operating system (IPSO). It allows
you to set the boot device, boot file, and boot flags from the command line.
The command has the following syntax:
boot
boot-device boot-file boot-flags
where
boot-device
is the storage device from which the operating system
loads at boot up, and
boot-file
is the operating system kernel. The
boot-flags
control the operation of the command. Refer to the boot flag table in
“Variables”
on page 82.
For example, at the boot manager command prompt enter the following:
BOOTMGR[0]>
boot wd0 /image/current/mykernel -vd
This command boots
mykernel
from disk
wd0
in verbose and debug mode.
You can supply all, any, or none of the arguments. If you do not supply an
argument, the boot manager uses its default. It first searches its nonvolatile
memory to see if the corresponding default argument is specified there. If so,
it uses that value; if not, it defaults to the values in the following table:
