10.0;cpboot (copy_boot), revision 1.0, 88/01/21
cpboot (copy_boot) - copy the system boot file sysboot
usage: cpboot  source_dir  target_dir



DESCRIPTION
     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
     standalone 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.

     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.
