.Dt LOADER.CONF 5
|
||||
.Os
|
||||
.Sh NAME
|
||||
.Nm loader.conf
|
||||
.Nd system bootstrap configuration information
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
.Nm loader.conf.local
|
||||
.Nd localized system bootstrap configuration information
|
||||
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
||||
The file
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
contains descriptive information on bootstrapping the system. Through
|
||||
it you can specify the kernel to be booted, parameters to be passed to
|
||||
it, additional modules to be loaded, and generally set all variables
|
||||
described in
|
||||
.Xr loader 8 .
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
The file
|
||||
.Pa /boot/loader.rc
|
||||
must have the follow two lines for
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
to be automatically processed:
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
.Dl include /boot/loader.4th
|
||||
.Dl start
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
If no
|
||||
.Pa /boot/loader.rc
|
||||
exists at installworld time, one with the above lines will be installed.
|
||||
.Sh SYNTAX
|
||||
Though
|
||||
.Nm loader.conf Ns No 's
|
||||
format was defined explicitly to resemble
|
||||
.Xr rc.conf 8 ,
|
||||
and can be sourced by
|
||||
.Xr sh 1 ,
|
||||
some settings are treated in a special fashion. Also, the
|
||||
behavior of some settings depends only on it's suffix.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
The general parsing rules are:
|
||||
.Bl -bullet
|
||||
.It
|
||||
Spaces and empty lines are ignored.
|
||||
.It
|
||||
A # sign will mark the remaining of the line as a comment.
|
||||
.It
|
||||
Only one setting can be present on each line.
|
||||
.El
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
All settings have the following format:
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
.Dl variable="value"
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
Unless it belongs to one of the classes of settings that receive special
|
||||
treatment, a setting will set the value of a
|
||||
.Xr loader 8 's
|
||||
environment variable. The settings that receive special
|
||||
treatment are listed below. The ones beginning with a
|
||||
.Qq *
|
||||
define the modules to be loaded and
|
||||
may have any prefix. All such settings sharing a common
|
||||
prefix refer to the same module.
|
||||
.Bl -tag -width Ar
|
||||
.It Ar exec
|
||||
Immediately executes a
|
||||
.Xr loader 8
|
||||
command. This type of setting cannot be processed by programs other
|
||||
than
|
||||
.Xr loader 8 ,
|
||||
so it's use should be avoided. Multiple instances of it will be processed
|
||||
independently.
|
||||
.It Ar loader_conf_files
|
||||
Defines additional configuration files to be processed right after the
|
||||
present file.
|
||||
.It Ar kernel
|
||||
Name of the kernel to be loaded. If no kernel name is set, no additional
|
||||
modules will be loaded.
|
||||
.It Ar kernel_options
|
||||
Flags to be passed to the kernel.
|
||||
.It Ar verbose_loading
|
||||
If set to
|
||||
.Dq YES ,
|
||||
the modules' names will be displayed as they are loaded.
|
||||
.It Ar *_load
|
||||
If set to
|
||||
.Dq YES ,
|
||||
that module will be loaded. If no name is defined (see below), the
|
||||
module's name is taken to be the same as the prefix.
|
||||
.It Ar *_name
|
||||
Defines the name of the module.
|
||||
.It Ar *_type
|
||||
Defines the module's type. If none is given, it defaults to a kld module.
|
||||
.It Ar *_flags
|
||||
Flags and parameters to be passed to the module.
|
||||
.It Ar *_before
|
||||
Commands to be executed before the module is loaded. Use of this setting
|
||||
should be avoided.
|
||||
.It Ar *_after
|
||||
Commands to be executed after the module is loaded. Use of this setting
|
||||
should be avoided.
|
||||
.It Ar *_error
|
||||
Commands to be executed if the loading of a module fails. Except for the
|
||||
special value
|
||||
.Dq abort ,
|
||||
which aborts the bootstrap process, use of this setting should be avoided.
|
||||
.El
|
||||
.Sh DEFAULT SETTINGS
|
||||
Most of
|
||||
.Nm loader.conf Ns No 's
|
||||
