44.Sh DESCRIPTION
45.Ss Power fail and crash recovery
46Normally, the system will reboot itself at power-up or after crashes.
47An automatic consistency check of the file systems will be performed,
48and unless this fails, the system will resume multi-user operations.
49.Ss Cold starts
50On a NeXT, the boot procedure uses the boot ROM to load a boot program
51over the network using BOOTP and TFTP.
52The
53.Pa /usr/mdec
54directory contains a network boot program which should be made available
55via
56.Xr tftp 1 .
57The network boot program will load
58.Pa netbsd
59from the NFS root as determined by the procedure described in
60.Xr diskless 8 .
