NAME
       bootlist - update and view the bootlist

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/sbin/bootlist -m normal|service|both [-o|-r] <dev_list>
       /usr/sbin/bootlist -m normal|service|both [-o|-r] -f file

DESCRIPTION
       The  bootlist  command  allows  users  to  view	and  update the system
       bootlist stored in NVRAM for PowerPC-64 machines.  The bootlist entries
       can be specified as either logical device names or Open Firmware device
       path names.  The bootlist will  convert	all  names  to	Open  Firmware
       device  path  names  using ofpathname when updating the bootlist.  Then
       uses the nvram command to update NVRAM.	If a list of devices is speciā€
       fied,  the boot list will be updated with the list provided.  If a list
       is not specified, the current boot list will be printed.

OPTIONS
       -m normal|service|both
	      Required; specify whether the normal or service mode  boot  list
	      should  be  viewed/updated.   Specifying	"both" will update the
	      normal and service mode boot lists.

       -o     Display the current boot list entries as logical device names.

       -r     Display the current boot list entries as	Open  Firmware	device
	      path names (default).

       -f file
	      Read the bootlist device names from file, one entry per line.

       dev_list
	      A	 space-separated  list of devices, specified as logical device
	      names or OF device path names, depending on whether the -o or -r
	      option is specified.

EXAMPLES
       View the normal mode boot list as logical device names:

	   /usr/sbin/bootlist -o -m normal

       Update the service mode boot list:

	   /usr/sbin/bootlist -o -m service /dev/sda3 /dev/cdrom
