Perhaps it is supposed to be linked to ``boot'', but actually isn't. Anyway, the man page is stone-aged. It doesn't refer to our boot loader, so alas you won't find the various flags mentioned there. It needs an update (this also came up in Usenet recently). -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
