src/usr.sbin/bootparamd/Makefile, branch release/4.1.0_cvs FreeBSD source tree Obtained from: The Xkernel source distribution 1995-02-26T23:40:53+00:00 Bill Paul wpaul@FreeBSD.org 1995-02-26T23:40:53+00:00 b9fefab743b44b2e5e2793f594d81e37870889eb I hope I'm doing this right. This is an initial version of bootparamd for FreeBSD based on a public domain rpc.bootparamd implementation by a gentleman named Klas Heggemann. This program has apparently been around for a while. The README explicitly lists the code as public domain, so I guess it's safe to use. This program is needed for booting diskless SunOS and Solaris machines. rarpd is also required, but that's in the works too. I have made two changes to this code: - Implemented NIS lookups. If /etc/bootparams contains a '+' then the bootparams map is consulted. - Allow 0.0.0.0 as a user-specified router address. The SunOS rpc.bootparamd returns this value in many cases.
