BOOTPARAMS(5) BSD File Formats Manual BOOTPARAMS(5)NAME
bootparams -- boot parameter database
SYNOPSIS
/etc/bootparams
DESCRIPTION
The bootparams file specifies the boot parameters that diskless clients may request when booting over the network. Each client supported by
this server must have an entry in the bootparams file containing the pathnames for its root and (optionally) swap areas.
Each line in the file (other than comment lines that begin with a #) specifies the client name followed by the pathnames that the client may
request by their logical names. The components of the line are delimited with blank or tab, and may be continued onto multiple lines with a
backslash.
For example:
dummy root=host:/export/dummy/root
swap=host:/export/dummy/swap
dump=host:/export/dummy/swap
When the client named "dummy" requests the pathname for its logical "root" it will be given the pathname ``host:/export/dummy/root'' as the
response to its RPC request. The "host:" component must be supplied.

rpc.bootparamd, bootparamd - boot parameter server
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/rpc.bootparamd [-d]
DESCRIPTION
rpc.bootparamd is a server process that provides information from a bootparams database to diskless clients at boot time. See bootparams(4)
The source for the bootparams database is determined by the nsswitch.conf(4) file (on the machine running the rpc.bootparamd process).
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-d Display debugging information.
FILES

A diskless client requires service from at least one rpc.bootparamd process running on a server that is on the same IP subnetwork as the
diskless client.
Some routines that compare hostnames use case-sensitive string comparisons; some do not. If an incoming request fails, verify that the
case of the hostname in the file to be parsed matches the case of the hostname called for, and attempt the request again.
The rpc.bootparamd service is managed by the service management facility, smf(5), under the service identifier:
svc:/network/rpc/bootparams
Administrative actions on this service, such as enabling, disabling, or requesting restart, can be performed using svcadm(1M). The ser-
vice's status can be queried using the svcs(1) command.

could someone explain to me the specifics of the <, >, >> and | symbols as they are used in Unix shells? I'm taking a bit of a crash course in this matter, and I feel this is very much a basic.

This seems to be a question whose answer uses sed or awk.
