Have you installed this tarball's contents?  It does include a man page,
rbootd.8 ...

  tar xzpvfC rbootd-2.0-2.tar.gz /

You'll need to modify /etc/rbootd.conf that contains the MAC address of
your workstation and the name of the image file.

Here is one of mine, for example:

  08:00:09:35:B9:38       Image         # hpsauce Linux kernel

Your kernel image(s) need to go in /export/hp/rbootd for this build of
rbootd (as far as I can tell).  "mkdir -p /export/hp/rbootd" to create.

As for how to start it, well, just run "/etc/rc.d/init.d/rbootd start" ...

Andrew.
