## DESCRIPTIONS

netabootwrap merges `net_aboot`, kernel and initrd images to build the network bootable image for Linux/Alpha systems. `net_aboot.nh` will not be usable but netabootwrap has all the functions. Without options, It'll look for `vmlinux.gz` and build `netboot.img`, which is `net_aboot` + `vmlinux.gz`.

-t filename

- Sets the file name of the netboot image to be created, default is `netboot.img`. This file will be unconditionally overwritten if it exists.

-k filename

- Sets the file name of the kernel image, default is `vmlinux.gz`

-i filename

- Sets the file name of the initial RAM-disk image, default is `initrd.gz`

-a "some kernel options"

- Provide additional kernel options, e.g. -a "root=/dev/sda1 single"

## NOTES

To actually use the image, you need a tftpd(8) server and a dhcp(8) or bootpd(8) server. You can find further details in the SRM-HOWTO: ( or in `/usr/share/doc/aboot/SRM-HOWTO/` on Debian GNU/Linux systems (and possibly others))
