NAME Warpkick V37 - A utility for loading or relocating kickstarts SYNOPSIS Warpkick KICKFILE,FASTROM/S,KILLROM/S,NOCACHEZ2/S,NOCACHEZ3/S, NOCATCHROM/S,NOBUSERRORS/S,VERBOSE/S FUNCTION Warpkick is a tool used to manipulate kickstart[s]. There are 3 main actions that you can perform with warpkick. Warpkick allows you to boot a newer kickstart image into RAM, relocate the ROM to RAM for faster access and remove the booted image from RAM. INPUTS (actions) KICKFILE This is the kickstart image that should be loaded into RAM. If not specified warpkick defaults to using "devs:kickstart". After warpkick loads the file with no errors it will reboot the system so be prepared. FASTROM/S When this switch is given warpkick will relocate your current ROM to fastram thus speeding access to it. (Note this is really only useful if you have a RAM bus that is faster than access to the ROM e.g. the RAM on the Warp Engine.) KILLROM/S This switch indicates you wish to reboot the system and have it use the kickstart in ROM. When given the system will reboot soon after so make sure you are ready for this. (options) NOCACHEZ2/S This option forces all access to Zorro II memory space non-cached. it would be used if you had a bridgeboard which puts its registers in memory space. However warpkick detects the bridgeboard and disables caching for that specific case so that other Zorro II RAM can still be cached. Most people do not need to set this option. NOCACHEZ3/S This option forces all access to Zorro III space non-cached. Warpkick, by default, caches only Zorro III space that is present in the memory lists. Therefore most users do not need this option. NOCATCHROM/S By default warpkick catches writes to ROM and accesses to other areas marked as invalid in the MMU tables. If this switch is given warpkick will not catch said accesses. NOBUSERROS/S This option disables the bus-error hardware. It may reduce the amount of GURU's you experience do to bugs in programs. VERBOSE/S If specified warpkick will try and tell you more about what it is doing. COPYRIGHT Copyright (c) 1994 MacroSystems Development Copyright (c) 1992 Greg Tibbs All rights reserved.
