From ef68e7d8e924e47f1ca3c0a8c39d5bc4682a24ce Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: kn Date: Tue, 8 Nov 2022 12:11:13 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Document network-boot-arguments for sparc64 diskless(8) The Oracle OpenBoot 4.x Administration Guide[0] documents a few useful options for network boot. Basically, either {ok} setenv network-boot-arguments tftp-retries=0 {ok} boot net ... or {ok} boot net:tftp-retries=0 ... Newer machines like the T4-2 using OpenBoot 4.38.16 also support BOOTP/DHCP besides RARP: "dhcp,hostname=puffy" works as expected on my T4-2, but "boot-filename" and "boot-retries" remain unsupported on this particular machine despite being documented in the guide. 0: https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E63648_01/html/E63649/gpvll.html#scrolltoc OK miod --- usr.sbin/eeprom/eeprom.8 | 8 +++++--- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/usr.sbin/eeprom/eeprom.8 b/usr.sbin/eeprom/eeprom.8 index 8b72a3d1655..59c28585a23 100644 --- a/usr.sbin/eeprom/eeprom.8 +++ b/usr.sbin/eeprom/eeprom.8 @@ -1,4 +1,4 @@ -.\" $OpenBSD: eeprom.8,v 1.22 2020/01/08 14:45:36 kn Exp $ +.\" $OpenBSD: eeprom.8,v 1.23 2022/11/08 12:11:13 kn Exp $ .\" $NetBSD: eeprom.8,v 1.2 1996/02/28 01:13:24 thorpej Exp $ .\" .\" Copyright (c) 1996 The NetBSD Foundation, Inc. @@ -28,7 +28,7 @@ .\" ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF THE USE OF THIS SOFTWARE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE .\" POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE. .\" -.Dd $Mdocdate: January 8 2020 $ +.Dd $Mdocdate: November 8 2022 $ .Dt EEPROM 8 .Os .Sh NAME @@ -197,7 +197,7 @@ one is likely to see on a system with an OpenPROM.
