Re: aboot question
Install aboot - If your configuration in /boot/etc/aboot.conf has the
number 0 (or whatever, this is the number you have to type in at the
aboot prompt), you can configure SRM (not aboot!) to pass this number
as argument to aboot.
To boot this from SRM console:
>>> boot -flags 0 (if number is 0)
to automatically boot without waiting in SRM configure SRM with the
following settings:
>>> set boot_osflags 0
>>> set auto_action boot
If you then want to cancel boot you have to press Ctrg-C at exact the
right position during boot process (typically when the message about
starting cpu 0 occurs). Try it more often if it does not work (just a
warning when setting this auto-boot options to on).
To disable auto-boot:
>>> set auto_action halt
the setting boot_osflags can be left to 0, with it you can simply
type "boot" in srm to start aboot with configuration "0". To go again
in aboot interactive mode type "boot -flags i".
It is even possible to set boot_osflags to the full kernel command
line, in that case you even do not need a aboot.conf (but this is
created automatically at debian install).

Is there any way to make aboot automatically start a kernel image ala
GRUB? The Alphaserver I just got working will be in a colo, and I won't
have a serial console accessible to get it to boot a kernel image.
