    NOTE

    The default statement to boot D3 is d3 -0. Although the ap command is currently supported, the pick command is not. Replace the ap and pick commands with the d3 command, as future releases of D3 may not support ap. If the commands pick -{port} or ap -{port} are included in the inittab file (/etc/inittab), change them to the new syntax.
