NAME

zbootcfg − Modifies the boot parameters of the OpenArchitect switch.

SYNOPSIS

zbootcfg -a -d <device number> [<boot_string>]

DESCRIPTION

zbootcfg is used to display or modify the boot parameters on the switch. The boot parameters are utilized by the minof boot loader application to indicate on which device to find a boot image. Care should be taken when changing the boot string. Incorrect procedures can result in a switch that cannot boot.

-d <device_number>

Three ROM boot devices are available in the switch. The factory- shipped boot device is 1. The following describes each boot device:

-d 1 Boot image located at offset 0 in the application flash 1. This is the factory-shipped location of the primary OpenArchitect image.

-d 2 Loads an image located at offset 0 in the application flash

2.This is the factory-shipped location for the alternate OpenArchitect image.

Any characters after the -d <dev> parameters are saved in flash memory and passed unchanged to the booting kernel.
