                     47: of an FFS disk partition, and initialize the table of block numbers the
                     48: .Ar bootxx
                     49: program uses to load the second-stage boot program.

                     51: The options are as follows:

                     55: .It Fl v
                     56: Be verbose, printing out the block numbers that
                     57: .Ar bootxx
                     58: will use to load
                     59: .Ar boot .
                     60: .El
                     61: .Pp

                     64: .It Ar boot
                     65: the name of the second-stage boot program in the file system
                     66: where the first-stage boot program is to be installed.
                     67: .It Ar bootxx
                     68: the name of the prototype file for the first stage boot program.
                     69: .It Ar rawdev
                     70: the name of the raw device in which the first-stage boot program
                     71: is to be installed.
                     72: This should correspond to the block device on which the file system containing
                     73: .Ar boot
                     74: is mounted.

                     85: .Nm installboot
                     86: requires simultaneous access to the mounted file system and
                     87: the raw device, but that is not allowed with the kernel
                     88: .Nm securelevel
                     89: variable set to a value greater than zero (the default), so
                     90: .Nm installboot
                     91: only works in single-user mode (or insecure mode - see
                     92: .Xr init 8 ) .
