.Sh DESCRIPTION
-.Nm \&Bootparamd
+.Nm
is a server process that provides information to diskless clients
necessary for booting. It consults the file
-.Dq Pa /etc/bootparams .
+.Pa /etc/bootparams .
It should normally be started from
-.Dq Pa /etc/rc .
+.Pa /etc/rc .
.Pp
This version will allow the use of aliases on the hostname in the
-.Dq Pa /etc/bootparams
+.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.
