Boot Flags

Boot flags enable system boot behavior(s). The user can set a single flag, or add hex digits to set multiple flags.

• 0x00000008 Bootloader ~7 seconds countdown
• 0x00000040 Autoconfigure wancom0 via DHCP enable - VM platforms only
• 0x00000080 Use TFTP protocol (instead of FTP) enable - VM platforms only
• 0x00000100 Bootloader ~1 seconds quick countdown - VM platforms only

The following boot flags should only be used as directed by Oracle support:

• 0x00000001 acme.ko network module security override
• 0x00000002 Kernel debug enable
• 0x00000004 Crashdump disable
• 0x00000010 Debug sshd enable
• 0x00000020 Debug console enable getty
• 0x00001000 Userspace debug enable
• 0x00100000 Uniprocessor enable (SMP disable)
• 0x20000000 Fail-safe boot enable
• 0x40000000 Process startup disable (flatspin mode)

Never enter any other values without the direction of Oracle support. Some diagnostic flags are not intended for normal system operation.
