BOOT (cont)
The following is the format for an expanded or nonstandard LAN boot path argument:
dev[@vector] [param1],[param2],[param3]
Where Means
dev() The name of the device driver that supports the LAN
controller.
[@vector] The interrupt vector number, or device code.
[param1] The memory-mapped I/O address of the controller. (VME
A16 address).
[param2] Additional parameter, defined by the device driver, to
further identify the device. (VME A32 address).
[param3] Additional parameter, defined by the device driver, to fully
identify the device. (Alternate Ethernet address).
For example, the default specification for the first VME Ethernet controller (jumpered
according to its factory configuration) is
. To specify a different Hawk
Interphase Ethernet LAN controller at nonstandard addresses, the device specification
includes the device code (interrupt vector) and both the VME A16 and A32 address, as
follows:
.

2. Boot from file #0 on the first tape drive (SCSI ID#4).
