bootparamd(1M)
NAME
rpc.bootparamd, bootparamd - boot parameter server
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/rpc.bootparamd [-d]
DESCRIPTION
rpc.bootparamd is a server process that provides information
from a bootparams database to diskless clients at boot time.
See bootparams(4)
The source for the bootparams database is determined by the
nsswitch.conf(4) file (on the machine running the
rpc.bootparamd process).
The rpc.bootparamd program can be invoked either by
inetd(1M) or directly from the command line.
OPTIONS
-d Display debugging information.
FILES
/etc/bootparams
boot parameter data base
/etc/nsswitch.conf
configuration file for the name-service switch

NOTES
A diskless client requires service from at least one
rpc.bootparamd process running on a server that is on the
same IP subnetwork as the diskless client.
Some routines that compare hostnames use case-sensitive
string comparisons; some do not. If an incoming request
fails, verify that the case of the hostname in the file to
be parsed matches the case of the hostname called for, and
attempt the request again.
