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 72. 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 Nokia 60s and 100s Installation Guide 79

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 72.
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
Default
boot-device
wd0
(the hard-disk drive)
boot-file
/image/current/kernel
boot-flags
-x
