+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Nm bootparamd
is a server process that provides information to diskless clients
-necessary for booting. It consults
-.B /etc/bootparams
+necessary for booting. It consults the
+.Pa /etc/bootparams
file.
-.LP
+.Pp
This version will allow the use of aliases on the hostname in the
-.B /etc/bootparams
+.Pa /etc/bootparams
file. The returned hostname to the whoami request done by the booting client
will be the name that appears in
-.B /etc/bootparams
+.Pa /etc/bootparams
and not the canonical name. In this way you can keep the answer short enough
so that machines that can not handle long hostnames won't fail during boot.
