NBOSS> commands

If your NBX ends up with a NBOSS> prompt what can you do?

Most of the time, you can't do anything. It wont' accept any input most of the time but sometimes it will.

• hd_id 0
  Get info about ide hard disk 0
• hd_seek_test 0,1
  0,1 quick
  0,2 long
  ctrl-c to stop
  
• dir 0
• run 0,file
• ether_test
• rmem8 (also 16,32)
• wmeme
• dump addr size,type
• cmos_dump
• eeconfig 00:eb:bb:01:23:45
  set your own etheraddress... note that the software assumes 00:eb:bb in places
• eedump 0
  0 for System eeprom. Serial no/pre 4.1 license stuff
  1 for MAC addresses
• eerd 0,0,4
• eewr
• fulltest level,count
• hd_id show drive info

From the boot prompt, press space to stop it then type: 
g f1a24 (that F-one) 
This isn't the best address but it works well enough. 

This will give you an NBoss> prompt that lets you do things like 
eeconfig 00:eb:bb:01:23:45 
memtest 
hd_test 
ether_test 
hd_id 
eedump 1 
you can look in NCPFlash.bin for the whole list of commands. 
reset will reboot the box. 

This is great if for some reason your nbx decides its mac address is 0:0:0:0:0:0 

The boot process:
The system runs NCPFlash.bin out of the internal flash.
It then loads bootnbx.sys which is a vxworks program. It gives the "[VxWorks boot]:" prompt. If the disk is bad, you won't ever see that.
/dos0/RX_X_X/vxWorsk is then run which is the main system.
