|
|
The PUTBOOT utility is used to copy information (usually a bootstrap loader
|
|
system) onto the system tracks of a disk. Although PUTBOOT can copy any
|
|
file to the system tracks, usually the file being written is a program
|
|
(the bootstrap system).

|
|
.pp
|
|
Invoke PUTBOOT with a command of the form:
|
|
.sp
|
|
.in 8
|
|
PUTBOOT [-H] <filename> <drive>
|
|
.fi
|
|
.sp
|
|
.in 0
|
|
where
|
|
.sp
|
|
.in 5
|
|
.ti -2
|
|
o -H is an optional flag discussed below;
|
|
.sp
|
|
.ti -2
|
|
o <filename> is the name of the file to be written to the system tracks;
|
|
.sp
|
|
.ti -2
|
|
o <drive> is the drive specifier for the drive to which <filename> is to be
|
|
written (letter in the range A-P.)
|
|
.sp
|
|
.in 0
|
|
.pp
|
|
PUTBOOT writes the specified file to the system tracks of the specified
|
|
drive. Sector skewing is not used; the file is written to the system tracks
|
|
in physical sector number order.
|
|
.ix sector skewing
|
|
.pp
|
|
Because the file that is written is normally in command file format,
|
|
PUTBOOT contains special logic to strip off the first 28 bytes of the file
|
|
whenever the file begins with the number 601AH, the magic number used in
|
|
command files. If, by chance, the file to be written begins with 601AH, but
|
|
should not have its first 28 bytes discarded, the -H flag should be specified
|
|
in the PUTBOOT command line. This flag tells PUTBOOT to write the file
|
|
verbatim to the system tracks.
|
|
.ix -H flag
|
|
.pp
|
|
PUTBOOT uses BDOS calls to read <filename>, and used BIOS calls to
|
|
write <filename> to the system tracks. It refers to the OFF and SPT
|
|
parameters in the Disk Parameter Block to determine how large the system
|
|
track space is. The source and command files for PUTBOOT are supplied
|
|
on the distribution disks for CP/M-8000.
