Subject: Typo and update to setup documentation
Index:	/usr/doc/2.10/setup.2.11 2.11BSD

Description:
	There was a typo in chapter 3 of the setup documentation.

	/boot now uses information passed by either the block zero
	code or the kernel in determining the device to load the
	system image from.  The documentation was changed to reflect
	this.


Repeat-By:
	Examine the documents.

Fix:
	Apply the patches below.

! The version of \fI/boot\fP distributed with the system is set up to boot
! \fIxp(0,0)unix\fP.  If you want to boot from a different file system
! easily and have auto-reboot supported, you will have to recompile the boot.
! This is done very simply as follows:
! .DS
! \fB#\fP cd /sys/pdpstand
! \fB#\fP make clean
! \fB#\fP make RB_DEFNAME="\fIdk\fP(\fIunit\fP,\fPoffset\fP)unix" boot
! \fB#\fP make install
! .DE
! Where \fIdk\fP is the two letter code for the device you want to auto-boot
! from, \fIunit\fP is the slave unit of said device, and \fIoffset\fP is the
! offset in \fI512-byte blocks\fP from the beginning of the selected disk,
! or the file number of the selected tape (note that auto-booting from tape
! is possible, but not recommended.)

! \fI/boot\fP uses the device information passed to it from the bootstrap

! \fI/boot\fP does not require recompilation to adapt to a new autoreboot
