TILO(1)

NAME
tilo - Trivial Image LOader

SYNOPSIS
tilo <Sun4c/m/d kernel> <Sun4u kernel> <root image> <TILO image>

DESCRIPTION
tilo is a tool for building a simple TFTP boot loader which embodies several kernel images for different Sun architectures and a ramdisk root image. To minimize memory usage, the images are gzipped. After starting the boot loader, the architecture is detected, the appropriate kernel is unpacked and then the booting procedure is launched.

OPTIONS

<Sun4c/m/d kernel>
    the kernel for Sun4c/m/d architecture (in ELF format)

<Sun4u kernel>
    the kernel for Sun4u (ultrasparc) architecture (in ELF format)

<root image>
    the initial ramdisk image to append to the kernel image. It could be compressed as well

<TILO image>
    TFTP boot image name as result of tilo command.

A boot image will be created which contains everything necessary to boot on each architecture.

NOTE
maketilo is an internal command used by the tilo script. There is no need to use it directly.
