MK (-)

SYNOPSIS

mk-amd-map [ -p ] mapname

DESCRIPTION

mk-amd-map creates the database maps used by the keyed map lookups in amd(8). It reads input from the named file and outputs them to a correspondingly named hashed database.

-p

This option prints the map on standard output instead of generating a database. This is usually used to merge continuation lines into one physical line.

TH MKBOOTDISK 8 "Tue Mar 31 1998" 4

NAME

mkbootdisk - creates a stand-alone boot floppy for the running system

SYNOPSIS

mkbootdisk [--version] [--noprompt] [--verbose] [--mkinitrdargs <args>] [--device <devicefile>] <kernel>

DESCRIPTION

mkbootdisk creates a boot floppy appropriate for the running system. The boot disk is entirely self-contained, and includes an initial ramdisk image which loads any necessary SCSI modules for the system. The created boot disk looks for the root filesystem on the device suggested by /etc/fstab. The only required argument is the kernel version to put onto the boot floppy.

OPTIONS

--device <devicefile>

The boot image is created on <devicefile>fR. If --device is not specified, /dev/fd0 is used.

--mkinitrdargs <args> Passes <args>fR to mkinitrd (which is used to create the initial ramdisk image for the boot floppy). Any mkinitrd arguments may be specified.

--noprompt Normally, mkbootdisk instructs the user to insert a floppy and waits for confirmation before continuing. If --noprompt is specified, no prompt is displayed.

--verbose

Instructs mkbootdisk to talk about what it's doing as it's doing it. Normally, there is no output from mkbootdisk.

--version

Displays the version of mkbootdisk and exits.
