    Many thanks to Holger Pfaff for his reply.

    heres what he sent me:

    in = default (networked) install
    st = standalone install
    js = java station
    di = entry for a diskless client
    os = os server -- install a server for diskless clients
    co = console (xterminal) entry

    Cheers
    Barry

    Subject: /etc/bootparams question

    Hi all,

    I'm trying to find out the various options that can be used for the
    boottype=: parameter when setting up /etc/bootparams - I believe
    boottype=:in is used to install the operating system, but I only want to
    boot from it. I've found that you can use 'di' 'os' & 'st' but I can't seem
    to find an explanation as to what they do - I would guess that boottype=:os
    runs a boot only, but it is a only a guess.

    Can anybody tell me for sure??

    TIA for any replies, much appreciated as always.

    Cheers
    Barry.
