NAME
     bootparamd — boot parameter server

SYNOPSIS
     rpc.bootparamd [-d] [-s] [-r router] [-f file]

DESCRIPTION
     bootparamd is a server process that provides information to diskless
     clients necessary for booting. It consults the /etc/bootparams file to
     find the information it needs.

     This version will allow the use of aliases on the hostname in the
     /etc/bootparams file. The returned hostname to the whoami request done by
     the booting client will be the name that appears in /etc/bootparams and
     not the canonical name. In this way you can keep the answer short enough
     so that machines that cannot handle long hostnames won't fail during
     boot.

OPTIONS
     -d	     Display debugging information.

     -s	     Log the debugging information to syslog.

     -r router
	     The default router (a machine or an IP-address).  This defaults
	     to the machine running the server.

     -f file
	     The file to use as boot parameter file instead of /etc/boot‐
	     params.

FILES
     /etc/bootparams

BUGS
     You may find the syslog loggings too verbose.
