The default type of boot block installed is derived from the host system. If it is an UltraSPARC, the sparc64 boot blocks will be used, otherwise the SPARC boot blocks will be used. .Nm can be forced to prepare a disk for either. .Sh OPTIONS The following options are available: l -tag -width 123456 t Fl h Display help. t Fl u Install sparc64 (UltraSPARC) boot blocks. t Fl U Install sparc (SPARC) boot blocks. t Fl v Be verbose. t Fl t Test mode; does not run any program.

a boot.net for sparc systems and
a ofwboot.net for sparc64 systems. t Fl f Set the path to the filesystem being installed for to .Ar filesystem . This is otherwise derived from the .Op directory . t Fl m Sets the path to the machine dependant directory to .Ar mdec . This is the directory that both the boot blocks and the .Xr installboot 8 program live. t Fl i Set the path to the .Xr installboot 8 program to .Ar installbootprog . This is useful for using .Nm on non-sparc or sparc64 systems. .El .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr disklabel 8 , .Xr installboot 8
