28.Os
29.Sh NAME
30.Nm boot_luna88k
31.Nd luna88k system bootstrapping procedures
32.Sh DESCRIPTION
33.Ss Boot process description
34When powered on, or after a system reboot, the luna88k ROM monitor will
35proceed to its initialization, and will boot the operating system
36configured in nvram if autoboot is enabled.
37.Ss DIP switches description
38The behaviour of the ROM monitor, as well as some kernel options, are
39controlled through the SW1 set of DIP switches on the front panel.
40.Pp
41The switch positions are not the same on LUNA-88K and LUNA-88K2 models.
42On LUNA-88K, a switch is enabled when in the
43.Em down
44position, while on the LUNA-88K2, a switch is enabled when in the
45.Em up
46position.
47.Pp
48The following SW1 switches alter the ROM monitor behaviour:
49.Bl -column "Switch" "interact with ROM monitor" "Disabled"
50.It Sy Switch Ta Sy Enabled Ta Sy Disabled
51.It Li 1 Ta "interact with ROM monitor" Ta "auto-boot"
52.It Li 2 Ta "serial console" Ta "graphics console"
53.El
54.Pp
55The following switches alter the kernel behaviour:
56.Bl -column "Switch" "interact with ROM monitor" "Disabled"
57.It Sy Switch Ta Sy Enabled Ta Sy Disabled
58.It Li 1 Ta "boot in single-user mode" Ta "boot in multi-user mode"
59.It Li 3 Ta "prompt for root device" Ta "do not prompt for root device"
60.It Li 4 Ta "enter UKC mode" Ta "do not enter UKC mode"
61.El
62Note that the same behaviour can be used by passing the
63.Fl s ,
64.Fl a ,
65and
66.Fl c
67options respectively in the boot loader, rather than using the switches.
68.Pp
69For more details about the
70.Dq User Kernel Configuration

72.Pq UKC ,
73see
74.Xr boot_config 8 .
75.Pp
76Note that the first switch controls both the kernel and the ROM monitor
77behaviour.
78.Ss Abnormal system termination
79In case of system crashes, the kernel will usually enter the kernel
80debugger,
81.Xr ddb 4 ,
82unless it is not present in the kernel, or it is disabled via the
83.Em ddb.panic
84sysctl.
85Upon leaving ddb, or if ddb was not entered, the kernel will halt the system
86if it was still in device configuration phase, or attempt a dump to the
87configured dump device, if possible.
88The crash dump will then be recovered by
89.Xr savecore 8
90during the next multi-user boot cycle.
91It is also possible to force other behaviours from ddb.
