Nik Clayton 414a35e60a Add $Id$, to make it simpler for members of the translation teams to
track.

The Id line is normally at the bottom of the main comment block in the
man page, separated from the rest of the manpage by an empty comment,
like so;

     .\"    $Id$
     .\"

If the immediately preceding comment is a @(#) format ID marker than the
the $Id$ will line up underneath it with no intervening blank lines.
Otherwise, an additional blank line is inserted.

.Sh NAME
.Nm bootparamd
.Nd boot parameter server
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm
.Op Fl ds
.Op Fl r Ar router
.Op Fl f Ar file
.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Nm Bootparamd
is a server process that provides information to diskless clients
necessary for booting. It consults the
.Pa /etc/bootparams
file.
.Pp
This version will allow the use of aliases on the hostname in the
.Pa /etc/bootparams
file. The returned hostname to the whoami request done by the booting client
will be the name that appears in
.Pa /etc/bootparams
and not the canonical name. In this way you can keep the answer short enough
so that machines that can not handle long hostnames won't fail during boot.
.Sh OPTIONS
.Bl -tag -width Fl
.It Fl d
Display the debugging information.
.It Fl s
Log the debugging information with syslog.
.It Fl r Ar router
The default router (a machine or an IP-address).
This defaults to the machine running the server.
.It Fl f Ar file
The file to use as boot parameter file instead of
.Pa /etc/bootparams .
.El
.Sh FILES
.Bl -tag -width /etc/bootparams -compact

.Sh BUGS
You may find the syslog loggings to be verbose.
