.. _command_boot:

boot - boot from script, device, ...
====================================

Usage
^^^^^
``boot [-vdlmwt] [BOOTSRC...]``

Synopsis
^^^^^^^^
This is for booting based on scripts. Unlike the bootm command which
can boot a single image this command offers the possibility to boot with
scripts (by default placed under /env/boot/).

BOOTSRC can be:
- a filename under /env/boot/
- a full path to a boot script
- a device name
- a partition name under /dev/
- a full path to a directory which
- contains boot scripts, or
- contains a loader/entries/ directory containing bootspec entries

Multiple bootsources may be given which are probed in order until
one succeeds.

Options
^^^^^^^
-v
 Increase verbosity
-d
 Dryrun. See what happens but do no actually boot
-l
 List available boot sources
-m
 Show a menu with boot options
-w SECS
 Start watchdog with timeout SECS before booting
-t SECS
 specify timeout in SECS
