SYNTAX

DESCRIPTION
A boot schema describes the machines that will combine to form
a multicomputer running LAM.
It is used by recon(1) to verify initial conditions for running
LAM, by lamboot(1) to start LAM, and by wipe(1) to terminate LAM.
The particular syntax of a LAM boot schema is sometimes called the
"host file" syntax. It is line oriented. One line indicates the name
of a machine, typically the full Internet domain name, and optionally
the userid with which to access it.
Common boot schemata for a particular site may be created
by the system administrator and placed in the installation directory
under boot/.
They typically start with the prefix
bhost .
Individual users usually create their own boot schemata, especially
if the configurations are simple.
