+.Sh NAME
+.Nm bootparams
+.Nd boot parameter database
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Nm /etc/bootparams
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm bootparams
+file specifies the boot parameters that
+.Xr diskless
+clients may request when booting over the network.
+Each client supported by this server must have an entry in the
+.Nm bootparams
+file containing the pathnames for its
+.Nm root
+and (optionally)
+.Nm swap
+areas.
+.Pp
+Each line in the file
+(other than comment lines that begin with a #)
+specifies the client name followed by the pathnames that
+the client may request by their logical names.
+The components of the line are delimited with blank or tab,
+and may be continued onto multiple lines with a backslash.
+.Pp
+For example:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+dummy	root=/export/dummy/root \\
+	swap=/export/dummy/swap \\
+	dump=/export/dummy/swap
+.Ed
+.Pp
+When the client named "dummy" requests the pathname for
+its logical "root" it will be given the pathname
+.Dq Pa "/export/dummy/root"
+as the response to its
+.Tn RPC
+request.
