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

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