18 Description: Tool for booting operating systems on remote hardware
19 This program makes booting of an operating system (e.g. Linux or
20 NOVA) as simple as running a local program. It facilitates booting on
21 local or remote hosts or in emulators such as qemu. Novaboot
22 operation is controlled by command line options and by a so called
23 novaboot script, which can be thought as a generalization of
24 bootloader configuration files. Based on this input, novaboot setups
25 everything for the target host to boot the desired configuration,
26 i.e. it generates the bootloader configuration file in the proper
27 format, deploy the binaries and other needed files to required
28 locations, perhaps on a remote TFTP server and reset the target host.
29 Finally, target host's serial output is redirected to standard output
