10832 system.4 refers to coffexec


  38        The syntax of the system file consists of a list of keyword/value pairs
  39        which are recognized by the system as valid commands. Comment lines
  40        must begin with an asterisk (*) or a hash mark (#) and end with a
  41        newline character. All commands are case-insensitive except where
  42        noted.

  45        Commands that modify the system's operation with respect to loadable
  46        kernel modules require you to specify the module type by listing the
  47        module's namespace. The following namespaces are currently supported on
  48        all platforms:
  49 
  50        drv
  51                  Modules in this namespace are device drivers.
  52 
  53 
  54        exec
  55                  Modules in this namespace are execution format modules. The
  56                  following exec modules are currently provided:

 248 WARNINGS
 249        Use care when modifying the system file; it modifies the operation of
 250        the kernel. If you preserved the original system file, you can boot
 251        using boot -a, which will ask you to specify the path to the saved
 252        file. This should allow the system to boot correctly. If you cannot
 253        locate a system file that will work, you may specify /dev/null. This
 254        acts as an empty system file, and the system will attempt to boot using
 255        its default settings.
 256 
 257 NOTES
 258        The system files are read only once, at boot time.
