NAME

zbootcfg

Modifies the boot parameters of the OpenArchitect switch.

SYNOPSIS

zbootcfg -a | -d <device number> [<boot_string>]

DESCRIPTION

zbootcfg is used to display or modify the boot parameters on the switch. The boot parameters
are utilized by the minof boot loader application to indicate on which device to find a boot image.
Care should be taken when changing the boot string. Incorrect procedures can result in a switch
that cannot boot.

-d <device_number>
Three ROM boot devices are available in the switch. The

factory-shipped boot device is 1. The following describes each
boot device:

-d 1 Boot image located at offset 0 in the application flash

1. This is the factory-shipped location of the primary
OpenArchitect image.

-d 2 Loads an image located at offset 0 in the application

flash 2. This is the factory-shipped location for the
alternate OpenArchitect image.

Any characters after the -d <dev> parameters are saved in flash memory and passed unchanged
to the booting kernel.

OPTIONS

-a

Displays the current boot string. The default factory

shipping string is “dev1.”

-d <dev>

Specifies the ROM device from which to boot. The

<dev> value must be the number 1 or 2 corresponding to
application flash 1 or application flash 2, respectively.

<boot string>

Optionally, a boot string may be provided that

is passed to the booting kernel. All characters

after the -d

<dev> are passed unchanged to the booting kernel.
