The default type of boot block installed 53is derived from the host system. If it is an UltraSPARC, the sparc64 54boot blocks will be used, otherwise the SPARC boot blocks will be used. 55.Nm 56can be forced to prepare a disk for either. 57.Sh OPTIONS 58The following options are available: 59.Bl -tag -width 123456 60.It Fl b 61Set the second stage boot program to 62.Ar bootprog . 63This will typically be 64.Pa boot.net 65for sparc systems and 66.Pa ofwboot.net 67for sparc64 systems. 68.It Fl f 69Set the path to the filesystem being installed for to 70.Ar filesystem . 71This is otherwise derived from the 72.Op directory . 73.It Fl h 74Display help. 75.It Fl i 76Set the path to the 77.Xr installboot 8 78program to 79.Ar installbootprog . 80This is useful for using 81.Nm 82on non-sparc or sparc64 systems. 83.It Fl m 84Sets the path to the machine dependent directory to 85.Ar mdec . 86This is the directory that both the boot blocks and the 87.Xr installboot 8 88program live. 89.It Fl t 90Test mode; does not run any program.
