The bootparams file contains the list of client entries that diskless clients use for booting. For each diskless client the entry should contain the following information:
name of client a list of keys, names of servers, and pathnames.
The first item of each entry is the name of the diskless client. The subsequent item is a list of keys, names of servers, and pathnames.
Items are separated by TAB characters.
A client entry in the local /etc/bootparams file supersedes an entry in the corresponding Network Information Service (NIS) map.
Here is an example of the /etc/bootparams taken from a SunOS system.
myclient root=myserver:/nfsroot/myclient \ swap=myserver:/nfsswap/myclient \ dump=myserver:/nfsdump/myclient
The Network Information Service (NIS) was formerly known as Sun Yellow Pages (YP). The functionality of the two remains the same; only the name has changed.
