3.2.2. boot - boot from script, device, …¶

3.2.2.1. Usage¶

boot [-vdlmMwt] [BOOTSRC...]

3.2.2.2. Synopsis¶

This is for booting based on scripts. Unlike the bootm command which
can boot a single image this command offers the possibility to boot with
scripts (by default placed under /env/boot/).

BOOTSRC can be:
- a filename under /env/boot/
- a full path to a boot script
- a full path to a bootspec entry
- a device name
- a partition name under /dev/
- a full path to a directory which
- contains boot scripts, or
- contains a loader/entries/ directory containing bootspec entries
- "bootchooser": boot with barebox bootchooser
- "bootsource": boot from the device barebox has been started from
- "diskuuid.*": boot from disk with specified diskuuid

Multiple bootsources may be given which are probed in order until
one succeeds.

3.2.2.3. Options¶

-v: Increase verbosity
-d: Dryrun. See what happens but do no actually boot (pass twice to run scripts)
-l: List available boot sources
-m: Show a menu with boot options
-M INDEX: Show a menu with boot options with entry INDEX preselected
-w SECS: Start watchdog with timeout SECS before booting

-o VAR[=VAL]

override VAR (bootm.{oftree,initrd}) with VAL

if VAL is not specified, the value of VAR is taken

-t SECS: specify timeout in SECS
