#### 16.3.10 chainloader

Command: chainloader [`--force`] file ¶

  Load file as a chain-loader. Like any other file loaded by the filesystem code, it can use the blocklist notation (see How to specify block lists) to grab the first sector of the current partition with ‘`+1`’. If you specify the option `--force`, then load file forcibly, whether it has a correct signature or not. This is required when you want to load a defective boot loader, such as SCO UnixWare 7.1.
