6.0;cpboot (copy_boot), revision 6.0, 83/02/19
CPBOOT (COPY_BOOT) -- Copy the system boot file SYSBOOT.
usage:  CPBOOT  source_dir  target_dir


FORMAT

  CPBOOT source_directory  target_directory


  CPBOOT copies the system boot file SYSBOOT from one directory to another.
  The sysboot file is used by the bootstrap prom to start the system.  CPBOOT
  is useful for copying SYSBOOT to a floppy disk, thus making the stand-alone
  utilities (SAU) directory on the floppy disk accessible from the boot PROM.
  You may also use it to update a Winchester disk when a new software release
  is distributed.


ARGUMENTS

  source_directory
  (required)       Specify directory containing the file SYSBOOT.

  target_directory
  (required)       Specify directory to which SYSBOOT is to be copied.
                   This must be the entry directory on the target logical
                   volume.

EXAMPLE

  $ cpboot /flpa /        Copy the SYSBOOT file from the directory "/flpa" to
                           the current node entry directory.
