Summary: A bootloader which can be started from the SRM console. Name: aboot Version: 0.9b Release: 0vl1 ExclusiveArch: alpha License: GPL Group: System Environment/Base Source: http://aboot.sourceforge.net/tarballs/aboot-%{version}.tar.bz2 URL: http://sourceforge.net/projects/aboot/ BuildRoot: %{_tmppath}/%{name}-%{version}-root %description The aboot program is the preferred way of booting Linux when using SRM firmware (the firmware normally used to boot an DEC UNIX). Aboot supports the creation of bootable block devices and contains a program which can load Linux kernels from a filesystem which is bootable by SRM. Aboot also supports direct booting from various filesystems (ext2, ISO9660, UFS), booting of executable object files (ELF and ECOFF), booting of compressed kernels, network booting (using bootp), partition tables in DEC UNIX format, and interactive booting and default configurations for SRM consoles that cannot pass long option strings. %prep %setup -q %build make %install rm -rf %{buildroot} make mandir=%{buildroot}%{_mandir} root=%{buildroot} install %clean rm -rf %{buildroot} %files %defattr(-, root, root) %doc COPYING ChangeLog* INSTALL README TODO doc/faq %attr(644, root, root) /boot/bootlx %{_syssbindir}/* %{_mandir}/man5/* %{_mandir}/man8/* %changelog * Sat Jun 26 2004 Tomoya TAKA 0.9b-0vl1 - new upstream release - fix %files - fix License, URL and Source's URL * Sat Jul 13 2002 Tomoya TAKA 0.9a-2vl1 - rebuild for Vine Linux - add all man pages to %%files - change Copyright: tag to License: - use rpm macros * Wed Jan 09 2002 Tom Tromey 0.9a-2 - Install man pages correctly.
