42system bootstrapping procedures
43.Sh DESCRIPTION
44.Sy Power fail and crash recovery.
45Normally, the system will reboot itself at power-up or after crashes.
46An automatic consistency check of the file systems will be performed,
47and unless this fails, the system will resume multi-user operations.
48.Pp
49.Sy Cold starts.
50The X68000/X68030 system boots from the device
51which is determined by the configuration of
52battery-backuped SRAM.
53By default, the boot rom attempt to boot from
54floppy disk drive (from 0 to 3) first,
55and then attempt to boot from hard disk (SASI or SCSI).
56On the NetBSD/X68k, booting from partition A of SCSI disks (sd?a)
57and 2HD floppy disks (fd?a, fd?c) is currently supported.
58.Pp
59First, the initial program loader of IOCS ROM or SCSI disk
60(or equivalent) reads
61.Pa boot
62program at the top of the disk,
63and then the boot program loads the NetBSD kernel
64.Pa /netbsd
65which is in the same partition of the disk.
66If you press
67.Pa [SHIFT]
68key when booting, the boot program enables you to change
69boot flag
70.Dv RB_SINGLE
71with the
72.Pa [SHIFT]
73key, and to choose which kernel
74to be used with arrow keys.
75If the LED of
76.Pa [HIRAGANA]
77key is turned on, the boot program adds
78.Dv RB_KDB
79flag and tries to boot the system in debug mode; see
80.Xr ddb 8
81for details.
82.Pp
83Note for X68030+MC68030 systems:
84Nothing special to be attended to; you can boot NetBSD just like as
85other operating systems such as Human68k and OS-9.
86.Pp
87Note for X68030/040turbo(68040 accelerator by BEEPs) systems:
88NetBSD can boot under 040 mode.
89It can also boot under 030 mode if you have MC68030 on the board.
90.Pp
91Note for X68000/Xellent30(68030 accelerator by TSR)+MC68030 systems:
92In order to boot NetBSD, you must choose 030 mode by using
93.Pa CH30.SYS ,
94which must reside in the battery-backuped SRAM.
95.Pp
96Note for X68000/Jupiter-X(68040/060 accelerator by FTZ-net) systems:
97The system must be in 040/060 processor mode.
