It consults the file +.Dq Pa /etc/bootparams . +It should normally be started from +.Dq Pa /etc/rc . +.Pp +This version will allow the use of aliases on the hostname in the +.Dq Pa /etc/bootparams +file. The hostname returned in response to the booting client's whoami request +will be the name that appears in the config file, not the canonical name. +In this way you can keep the answer short enough +so that machines that cannot handle long hostnames won't fail during boot. +.Sh OPTIONS +.Bl -tag -width indent +.It Fl d +Display the debugging information.
