| 12 | boot time help␊ |
| 13 | ␊ |
| 14 | The boot prompt waits for you to type advanced startup options. If you don't␊ |
| 15 | type anything, the computer continues starting up normally. It will use the␊ |
| 16 | kernel and configuration files on the selected/default device, which it also␊ |
| 17 | uses as the root device.␊ |
| 18 | Use the following syntax, when typing advanced startup options:␊ |
| 19 | ␊ |
| 20 | [device]<kernel> [arguments]␊ |
| 21 | ␊ |
| 22 | Arguments consist of either just a name, e.g. -v or a key=value pair,␊ |
| 23 | e.g. rd=disk0s2. The latest are commonly referred to as "keys" and the first␊ |
| 24 | as "flags". ?????????????????␊ |
| 25 | Use the following syntax when typing arguments (recommended):␊ |
| 26 | ␊ |
| 27 | [flags] [Wait=y key] [any other key]␊ |
| 28 | ␊ |
| 29 | WARNINGS: (feedback is welcome)␊ |
| 30 | - At least Wait=y is breaking other keys/flags?, when typed after them. This␊ |
| 31 | is the main reason for the "argument" syntax above. If you have any problem␊ |
| 32 | of this nature please try the recommended syntax or play with it.␊ |
| 33 | - Arguments with spaces on their name (marked with (*)) are failing when␊ |
| 34 | wrapped in quotation marks.␊ |
| 35 | ␊ |
| 36 | Syntax examples:␊ |
| 37 | ␊ |
| 38 | backup_kernel -legacy -v DSDT=/extra/test.aml Wait=y <-- :( DSDT= failed␊ |
| 39 | backup_kernel -legacy -v Wait=y DSDT=/extra/test.aml <-- :)␊ |
| 40 | ␊ |
| 41 | rd(0,0)/test_kernel -v debug=0x144␊ |
| 42 | -v Wait=y UseMemDetect=n SMBIOSDefaults=n SMBIOS=/path/to/smbios.plist␊ |
| 43 | ␊ |
| 44 | Argument's names are case sensitive, values are not. Thus:␊ |
| 45 | /Extra/DSDT.aml = /extra/dsdt.aml, etc...␊ |
