=head1 NAME

B<rbootseq> - Persistently sets the order of boot devices for BladeCenter blades or PPC LPARs.

=head1 SYNOPSIS

B<rbootseq> [B<-h>|B<--help>|B<-v>|B<--version>]

=head2 Blade specific:

B<rbootseq> I<noderange> {B<hd0>|B<hd1>|B<hd2>|B<hd3>|B<net>|B<iscsi>|B<iscsicrit>|B<cdrom>|B<usbflash>|B<floppy>|B<none>|B<list>|B<stat>}B<,>I<...>

=head2 PPC (using Direct FSP Management) specific:

B<rbootseq> I<noderange> B<[hfi|net]>

=head1 DESCRIPTION

For PPC (with HMC) specific:

B<rbootseq> sets the boot sequence (the order in which boot devices should be tried) for the specified blades.
Up to four different medium/devices can be listed, separated by commas.  The boot sequence will remain
in effect for these blades until set differently.

For PPC (using Direct FSP Management) specific:

B<rbootseq> sets the net or hfi device as the first boot device for the specified PPC LPARs. The net or hfi mac address is store in the mac table. And B<rbootseq> requires that the network information is correct in networks table as for getmacs/rnetboot.

=item 1.

Set blades 14-56 and 70-203 to try to boot first from the CD drive, then the floppy drive, then
