For MUL TIBUS® I systems, this assembly language source file<br />
contains macros that specify information about <strong>the</strong> processor and<br />
<strong>the</strong> bus, how <strong>the</strong> boot device and load file are selected, and which<br />
devices can be booted from.<br />
For a MULTIBUS® II system which does not use <strong>the</strong> MSA<br />
Bootstrap Loader, this assembly language source file contains<br />
macros that specify information about <strong>the</strong> processor and <strong>the</strong> bus,<br />
how <strong>the</strong> boot device and load file are selected, and which devices<br />
can be booted from.<br />
This assembly language source file contains macros that tell <strong>the</strong><br />
Bootstrap Loader what to do if errors occur during <strong>bootstrap</strong><br />
loading.<br />
These assembly language source files contain configuration<br />
information about <strong>the</strong> first stage device drivers. Each file describes<br />
one device driver. For each device driver that you want to include<br />
in <strong>the</strong> first stage, you must set up <strong>the</strong> appropriate file and link it to<br />
<strong>the</strong> rest of <strong>the</strong> first stage.<br />
This SUBMIT file contains <strong>the</strong> commands needed to assemble <strong>the</strong><br />
preceding source files and link <strong>the</strong> resulting modules (and any<br />
o<strong>the</strong>rs that you supply). It <strong>the</strong>n locates <strong>the</strong> resulting object module<br />
containing <strong>the</strong> configured first stage.<br />
As shipped on <strong>the</strong> release diskettes, <strong>the</strong>se files are set up to generate <strong>the</strong> default version of<br />
<strong>the</strong> Bootstrap Loader's first stage. If you decide to configure your own version of <strong>the</strong> first<br />
stage, you will edit your local copy of ei<strong>the</strong>r <strong>the</strong> BS l.A86 or BS IMB2.A86 configuration file<br />
( depending upon your system), possibly <strong>the</strong> BSERR.A86 configuration file, and <strong>the</strong><br />
BS1.CSD submit file. Make changes in <strong>the</strong> device driver configuration files only if you<br />
want to change <strong>the</strong> Intel-supplied defaults in those files.<br />
The following sections describe how to modify all <strong>the</strong> configuration files to tailor <strong>the</strong> first<br />
stage of <strong>the</strong> Bootstrap Loader to meet your specifications.<br />
