This manual will follow certain conventions throughout.
Whenever a variable name, command name, directory, or filename
is used in a paragraph it will appear in a mono-spaced font.
At times the reader will be instructed to enter commands at a
prompt. In this case a transcript of a sample session will be
provided where a prompt will be followed by the commands the
reader is to enter. The entire transcript will be in a mono-spaced
font with the prompt in a normal weight and the user's entries in
bold.
The prompt used in a transcript varies depending on the
circumstances. The following are some common prompts:
prompt#
used when the user is required to have root privileges
prompt% used when the user is not required to have root
privileges
ok prompt displayed when the user is in Boot PROM
