CPBOOT (COPY_BOOT) -- Copy the system boot file SYSBOOT.
usage:  CPBOOT source_dir target_dir | -DEV CT


FORMAT

  CPBOOT source_directory target_directory | -DEV CT


  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.

  If you wish to build a bootable cartridge tape, "-DEV CT" should be  specified
  in  place of the target directory. This will copy CTBOOT -- the cartridge tape
  version of SYSBOOT -- from  the  source  directory  (usually  /SYS)  onto  the
  beginning  of  the  cartridge tape. (Note: subsequent WBAKs to the tape should
  use the -SYSBOOT option to avoid overwritting CTBOOT on the tape.)


ARGUMENTS

  source_directory
  (required)         Specify directory containing the file SYSBOOT or CTBOOT.

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

                     Default if omitted:  must use -DEV.


OPTIONS

  -DEV CT             Specify  that you wish to build a bootable cartridge tape.
                     This  option  must   be   specified   if   you   omit   the
                     'target_directory' argument.


EXAMPLES

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

  $ cpboot /sys -dev ct  Copy the CTBOOT file from the directory "/sys"
                          to the cartridge tape.
