# Thelp DDisplay command help
|
|
|
|
help [topic [subtopic]]
|
|
?
|
|
|
|
The help command displays help on commands and their usage.
|
|
|
|
In command help, a term enclosed with <...> indicates a value as
|
|
described by the term. A term enclosed with [...] is optional,
|
|
and may not be required by all forms of the command.
|
|
|
|
Some commands may not be availalble. Use the '?' command to list
|
|
most available commands.

# Tautoboot DBoot after a delay
|
|
|
|
autoboot [<delay> [<prompt>]]
|
|
|
|
Displays <prompt> or a default prompt, and counts down <delay> seconds
|
|
before attempting to boot. If <delay> is not specified, the default
|
|
value is 10.
|
|
|
|
################################################################################
|
|
# Tboot DBoot immediately
|
|
|
|
boot [<kernelname>] [-<arg> ...]
|
|
|
|
Boot the system. If arguments are specified, they are added to the
|
|
arguments for the kernel. If <kernelname> is specified, and a kernel
|
|
has not already been loaded, it will be booted instead of the default
|
|
kernel.
|

|
|
################################################################################
|
|
# Techo DEcho arguments
|
|
|
|
echo [-n] [<message>]
|
|
|
|
Emits <message>, with no trailing newline if -n is specified. This is
|
|
most useful in conjunction with scripts and the '@' line prefix.
|
|
|
|
Variables are substituted by prefixing them with $, eg.
|
|
|
|
echo Current device is $currdev
|
|
|
|
will print the current device.

# Tload DLoad a kernel or module
|
|
|
|
load [-t <type>] <filename>
|
|
|
|
Loads the module contained in <filename> into memory. If no other
|
|
modules are loaded, <filename> must be a kernel or the command will
|
|
fail.
|
|
|
|
If -t is specified, the module is loaded as raw data of <type>, for
|
|
later use by the kernel or other modules. <type> may be any string.
|
|
|

|
Displays a listing of files in the directory <path>, or the root
|
|
directory of the current device if <path> is not specified.
|
|
|
|
The -l argument displays file sizes as well; the process of obtaining
|
|
file sizes on some media may be very slow.
|
|

# Tpnpscan DScan for PnP devices
|
|
|
|
pnpscan [-v]
|
|
|
|
Scan for Plug-and-Play devices. This command is normally automatically
|
|
run as part of the boot process, in order to dynamically load modules
|
|
required for system operation.
|
|
|
|
If the -v argument is specified, details on the devices found will
|
|
be printed.

|
|
set bootfile=<filename>[;<filename>...]
|
|
|
|
Sets the default set of kernel boot filename(s). It may be overridden
|
|
by setting the bootfile variable to a semicolon-separated list of
|
|
filenames, each of which will be searched for in the module_path
|
|
directories. The default bootfile set is "kernel".
|

|
################################################################################
|
|
# Tset Sboot_verbose DVerbose boot messages
|
|
|
|
set boot_verbose
|
|
|
|
Setting this variable causes extra debugging information to be printed
|
|
by the kernel during the boot phase.
|
|
|
|
################################################################################
|
|
# Tset Sconsole DSet the current console
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
set module_path=<path>[;<path>...]
|
|
|
|
Sets the list of directories which will be searched in for modules
|
|
named in a load command or implicitly required by a dependancy. The
|
|
default module_path is "/boot/kernel;/boot/modules;/modules".

|
|
################################################################################
|
|
# Tset Sprompt DSet the command prompt
|
|
|
|
set prompt=<value>
|
|
|
|
The command prompt is displayed when the loader is waiting for input.
|
|
Variable substitution is performed on the prompt. The default
|
|
prompt can be set with:

|
################################################################################
|
|
# Tset Srootdev DSet the root filesystem
|
|
|
|
set rootdev=<path>
|
|
|
|
By default the value of $currdev is used to set the root filesystem
|
|
when the kernel is booted. This can be overridden by setting
|
|
$rootdev explicitly.
|
|
|
|
################################################################################
|
|
# Tset Stunables DSet kernel tunable values
|
|
|
|
Various kernel tunable parameters can be overriden by specifying new
|
|
values in the environment.
|
|
|
|
set kern.ipc.nmbclusters=<value> NMBCLUSTERS
|
|
|
|
Set the number of mbuf clusters to be allocated. The value
|
|
cannot be set below the default determined when the kernel
|
|
was compiled.
|
|
|
|
set kern.vm.kmem.size=<value> VM_KMEM_SIZE
|
|
|
|
Sets the size of kernel memory (bytes). This overrides
|
|
completely the value determined when the kernel was
|
|
compiled.
|
|
|
|
set machdep.pccard.pcic_irq=<value>
|
|
|
|
Overrides the IRQ normally assigned to a PCCARD controller.
|
|
Typically the first available interrupt will be allocated,
|
|
which may conflict with other hardware. If this value is
|
|
set to 0, an interrupt will not be assigned and the
|
|
controller will operate in polled mode only.
|
|
|
|
set machdep.bios.pnp=disable
|
|
|
|
Disable the use of the PnP BIOS (i386 only)
|
|
|
|
set machdep.bios.pci=disable
|
|
|
|
Disable the use of the PCI BIOS (i386 only)
|
|
|
|
set net.inet.tcp.tcbhashsize=<value> TCBHASHSIZE
|
|
|
|
Overrides the compile-time set value of TCBHASHSIZE or
|
|
the preset default of 512. Must be a power of 2.
|
|
|
|
set hw.physmem=<value> MAXMEM (i386 only)
|
|
|
|
Limits the amount of physical memory space available to
|
|
the system to <value> bytes. <value> may have a k, M or G
|
|
suffix to indicate kilobytes, megabytes and gigabytes
|
|
respectively. Note that the current i386 architecture
|
|
limits this value to 4GB.
|
|
|
|
On systems where memory cannot be accurately probed,
|
|
this option provides a hint as to the actual size of
|
|
system memory (which will be tested before use).

# Tinclude DRead commands from a script file
|
|
|
|
include <filename> [<filename> ...]
|
|
|
