Task
Description
For Instructions
Set boot file parameters by using the eeprom command.
Modify boot behavior on an x86 based system by using the eeprom command. Boot options that are set by using the eeprom command persist over a system reboot, unless these options are overridden by modifying kernel behavior in the GRUB menu at boot time.
Modify boot behavior by editing the GRUB menu at boot time.
Modify boot behavior by editing GRUB menu at boot time. Boot options that are specified by modifying the boot behavior in the GRUB menu persist only until the next system reboot.
Modify boot behavior by manually editing the menu.lst file.
Modify boot behavior by editing the menu.lst configuration file to add new OS entries or redirect the console. Changes you make to the file persist over system reboots.
Modify the menu.lst file to include entries that support the findroot command.
Additional menu entries that use the findroot command can be added to the menu.lst file menu after an installation or upgrade.
