-.Dt BBBB 8 arm26
-.Os
-.Sh NAME
-.Nm BBBB
-.Nd Bootloader for
-.Nx Ns /arm26
-.Sh SYNOPSIS
-.Nm
-.Op Fl adsqv
-.Op Ar file
-.Sh DESCRIPTION
-.Nm
-is a program that runs under
-.Tn RISC OS
-and launches the
-.Nx Ns /arm26
-kernel.  It needs to be installed in a RISC OS
-filesystem and given file type FFB (BASIC).  The kernel it is to load
-also needs to be stored in a
-.Tn RISC OS
-filesystem.
-.Pp
-It takes the following options, which set flags in the
-.Va boothowto
-variable in the booted kernel:
-.Bl -tag -width Fl
-.It Fl a
-.Pq Dv RB_ASKNAME
-Cause the kernel to prompt the user for the name of the device containing the
-root filesystem.  This also causes
-.Nm
-to prompt for the name of the kernel to be loaded.
-.It Fl s
-.Pq Dv RB_SINGLE
-Cause the kernel to ask
-.Nm init
-to boot into single-user mode.
-.It Fl d
-.Pq Dv RB_KDB
-Cause the kernel to ented the kernel debugger as soon as possible.
-.It Fl q
-.Pq Dv RB_QUIET
-Cause the kernel to emit fewer messages than normal while starting up.
-.It Fl v
-.Pq Dv RB_VERBOSE
-Cause the kernel to emit more messages than normal while starting up.
-.El
-.Pp
-.Nm
-attempts to load the kernel from the RISC OS file specified as
-.Ar file ,
-or from
-.Pa netbsd
-if
-.Ar file
-is not specified.
-.Ss Screen display
-.\" From <URL:http://mail-index.netbsd.org/port-arm26/2000/05/02/0001.html>
-When it starts up,
-.Nm
-displays the current memory map.
-Each character in the map represents one page of (physical) RAM.  The
-ticks along the top are to stop you getting lost.  The characters in the
-map indicate what the memory's being used for (actually where it's
-logically mapped):
-.Pp
-.Bd -literal -offset indent
-0 -> zero-page
-+ -> BBBB workspace
-* -> Free space (BBBB wants to put the kernel here)
-d -> RAM disc
-s -> System sprite area
-m -> RMA
-h -> System heap/stack
-f -> Font cache
-S -> Screen memory
-.Ed
-.Pp
-On a machine with 32k pages (which is all
-.Nx Ns /arm26
-supports), the left
-half of the first line is potential screen memory, and hence not used by
-.Nm "" .
-The next page is usually zero page under RISC OS, and is used for
-zero page under
-.Nx .
-The next is usually system heap under RISC OS,
-and is used for process 0's kernel stack under
-.Nx .
-The next is used for the message buffer under
-.Nx .
-Pages from there on are used to load
-the kernel, and must be free if
-.Nm
-is to do so successfully.  Future
-bootloaders should load the kernel into whatever pages are free, then kick
-out RISC OS and shuffle them into the right shape.  This is left as an
-exercise for the enthusiatic reader.
-.Sh SEE ALSO
-.Xr reboot 2 ,
-.Xr ddb 4 ,
-.Xr init 8
-.Sh HISTORY
-.Nm
-is as old as
-.Nx Ns /arm26 ,
-which isn't very old.  Its name is a contraction of
-.Dq Ben's BASIC BSD Bootloader .
-.Sh BUGS
-.Nm
-cannot load kernels from a
-.Nx
-filesystem, nor can it load compressed kernels.
