46.Sh DESCRIPTION
47.Sy Power fail and crash recovery.
48Normally, the system will reboot itself at power-up or after crashes.
49An automatic consistency check of the file systems will be performed
50as described in
51.Xr fsck 8 .
52and unless this fails, the system will resume multi-user operations.
53.Pp
54.Sy Cold starts
55The SPARC system currently uses the SunOS bootstrap loaders.
56This will be changed in a future version of the system.
57The SunOS boot will attempt to load
58.Pa vmunix
59from partition A of the boot device,
60which must currently be an ``sd'' disk.
61.Pp
62The
63.Op Fl s
64flag to the SunOS boot loader will being the system up in single-user mode.
65The
66.Op Fl d
67flag to the SunOS boot loader will bring the system up in debug mode.
68Here it waits for a kernel debugger connect; see
69.Xr kgdb 8 .
70Other flags are currently ignored.

87.Sh BUGS
88The use of Sun disk labels, without the ability to write them,
89is problematic.
