| .SH SYNOPSIS |
| .B palo |
| [\fI\,options\/\fR] |
| .SH DESCRIPTION |
| palo version 2.00 |
| .TP |
| \-?, \fB\-\-help\fR |
| Print this information |
| .HP |
| \fB\-c\fR, \fB\-\-commandline\fR=\fI\,default\/\fR kernel command line |
| .IP |
| Maximum 1023 characters. |
| .HP |
| \fB\-k\fR, \fB\-\-recoverykernel\fR=\fI\,path\/\fR to recovery kernel (perhaps \fI\,/boot/vmlinux\/\fP) |
| .HP |
| \fB\-b\fR, \fB\-\-bootloader\fR=\fI\,path\/\fR to boot loader (usually \fI\,/usr/share/palo/iplboot\/\fP) |
| .HP |
| \fB\-r\fR, \fB\-\-ramdisk\fR=\fI\,path\/\fR to initial ramdisk image |
| .HP |
| \fB\-I\fR, \fB\-\-init\-partitioned\fR=\fI\,partitioned\/\fR device or file |
| .IP |
| Initialize a pre\-partitioned device, usually a hard disk. |
| The partition table is not modified. Requires only \fB\-c\fR and \fB\-b\fR |
| though \fB\-k\fR is customary and prudent. |
| .HP |
| \fB\-U\fR, \fB\-\-update\-partitioned\fR=\fI\,partitioned\/\fR device or file |
| .IP |
| Update a pre\-partitioned device, usually a hard disk. |
| The partition table is not modified. Usually used to |
| modify the default kernel command line (\fB\-c\fR). |
| .HP |
| \fB\-s\fR, \fB\-\-init\-tape\fR=\fI\,file\/\fR |
| .IP |
| Initialize an unpartitioned file which can be copied to |
| tape, disk, or used as a bootp image. Requires \fB\-c\fR, \fB\-b\fR, \fB\-k\fR. |
| .HP |
| \fB\-C\fR, \fB\-\-init\-cdrom\fR=\fI\,iso\-image\-file\/\fR |
| .IP |
| Convert an ISO image already containing a kernel, boot loader, |
| and optionally a ramdisk, into a PA\-RISC bootable image. |
| Requires \fB\-c\fR, \fB\-b\fR, \fB\-k\fR, and optionally \fB\-r\fR. The files named on |
| the palo command line must have EXACTLY the same contents as |
| those already in the ISO image. |
| .HP |
| \fB\-f\fR, \fB\-\-configfile\fR=\fI\,path\/\fR to config file |
| .IP |
| Each line in the named configuration file is added |
| as a separate argument to the beginning of the palo |
| command line arguments (thus command\-line options |
| override config file options). |
| .IP |
| Short or long options can be used with long options |
| peferred for readability in the configuration file. |
| WARNING: No quotations or other shell syntax is understood, |
| so use |
| .IP |
| \fB\-\-commandline\fR=\fI\,a\/\fR b c |
| .TP |
| not |
| \fB\-\-commandline=\fR'a b c'. |
| .TP |
| The short\-option config file form of the above is: |
| \fB\-c\fR |
| a b c |
| .IP |
| Blank lines and lines beginning with # are ignored. |
| Whitespace at the beginning and ends of lines is discarded. |
| .TP |
| When \fB\-f\fR is not specified, palo tries \fI\,/etc/palo.conf\/\fP. |
| Use |
| .IP |
| \fB\-\-configfile=\fR/dev/null to avoid configuration files or |
| warnings when \fI\,/etc/palo.conf\/\fP is missing. |
| .HP |
| \fB\-v\fR, \fB\-\-verbose\fR |
| .IP |
| Provide more verbose information when running palo |
| .HP |
| \fB\-e\fR, \fB\-\-format\-as\fR=\fI\,type\/\fR |
| .IP |
| This is only for partitioned media. Format the palo |
| partition as an ext2 (type == 2) or ext3 (type == 3) |
| partition. With this option, you cannot specify any |
| parameters, kernels or ramdisks to be loaded into |
| the palo partition |
| .PP |
| \&'palo' with no arguments whatsoever is equivalent to 'palo \fB\-f\fR \fI\,/etc/palo\/\fP.conf'. |
| .PP |
| When more than one of \fB\-I\fR, \fB\-U\fR, \fB\-s\fR and \fB\-C\fR are used, only the |
| last one is effective. |
