<refsect1><title>DESCRIPTION</title>
<para>
<indexterm><primary>aboot.conf</primary></indexterm>
<filename>aboot.conf</filename> contains a list of boot settings
for <application>aboot</application>(8). Each boot setting
has a unique number which can be supplied at the SRM-Prompt.
<indexterm><primary>SRM</primary></indexterm>.

<blockquote>
<literallayout>
0:4/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda5
1:4/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda5 single

</literallayout>

</example></para>
<para>
The first number is a unique identifier for each boot configuration.
To boot a certain configuration at the SRM-Prompt you would issue
</para>
<para>
<command>
boot <parameter>dka0 -fl "0"</parameter>
</command>
</para>
<para>
where dka0 has to be replaced by your boot device and the boot configuration
(0 in this case) can be replaced by any defined in 
<filename>etc/aboot.conf</filename>.
</para>
<para>
After the colon the number of the partition the kernel resides on is given. 1
corresponds to A:, 2 to B: and so on. 
</para>
<para>
After the slash the name of the kernel to boot is given, including a possible
path. If your kernel does not reside on a filesystem but is located directly
after aboot at the beginning of the hard disk you would omit the number, the
slash and the kernel name.
</para>

<para>
Next the name of the partition to mount as / is given. Other kernel
parameters follow as required.
</para>

<para>
The contents of this file can be shown before booting if necessary by
using the interactive
mode of <application>aboot</application>(8) (booting with the flag "i")
and then issuing "h" at the <application>aboot</application>-prompt.
