Prevent \fBmkofboot\fR from setting the OpenFirmware boot-device
variable with \fBnvsetenv\fR(8).

-.BR \-\-device\ \fIopenfirmware-dev-path
-This option is used for auto-generation of a \fByaboot.conf\fR(5). This
-specifies the OpenFirmware device of the disk the system will boot
-from. The default is \*(lqhd:\*(rq.
-.TP
-.BR \-\-partition\ \fIroot-partition-number
-This option is used for auto-generation of a \fByaboot.conf\fR(5). This
-specifies the partition number of the root filesystem. Mac partition
-tables are considered a partition themselves, so the first real
-partition will be 2, usually the \fBbootstrap\fR(8) partition, followed
-by the root partition, number 3.
-.TP
-.BR \-\-timeout\ \fItimeout
-This option is used for auto-generation of a \fByaboot.conf\fR(5). This
-specifies the timeout value in tenths of a second. The timeout is how
-long \fByaboot\fR(8) will wait before booting the default (first listed)
-image.
-.TP
-.BR \-\-image\ \fIkernel-image
-This option is used for auto-generation of a \fByaboot.conf\fR(5). This
-specifies the path to the default kernel to be booted.
-.TP
-.BR \-\-label\ \fIlabel
-This option is used for auto-generation of a \fByaboot.conf\fR(5). This
-specifies the label used to boot the above kernel image. The default
-is Linux.
-.TP
-.BR \-\-root\ \fIroot-device
-This option is used for auto-generation of a \fByaboot.conf\fR(5). This
-specifies the Linux device of the root partition. This is passed to
-the kernel at boot time. The default is \fI/dev/hda3\fR.
-.TP
.BR \-v ,\ \-\-verbose
This option causes \fBmkofboot\fR to be more verbose as it proceeds.
.TP

The temporary directory \fBmkofboot\fR will use.
