70; [OS-General] Section Commands:
71;
72; BootType - Specifies the boot type: BootSector, Linux,
73; Windows, WindowsNT40, Windows2003, ReactOSSetup.
74;
75; BootPath - ARC path, e.g. multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(x)partition(y)
76;
77; DriveMap - For BIOS-based PCs, maps a BIOS drive number to another
78; (i.e. DriveMap=hd1,hd0 maps hard-disk 1 to hard-disk 0;
79; or DriveMap=fd1,fd0 for mapping floppy disks).
80
81; ["BootSector" OSType] Section Commands:
82;
83; BootDrive - BIOS drive number to be used.
84; BootPartition - Partition number to be used (optional).
85;
86; REMARK: If a "BootPath" ARC path is specified, its value takes precedence
87; over both the "BootDrive" and "BootPartition" values.
88;
89; REMARK 2: The "BootDrive", "BootPartition" and "BootPath" values are optional.
90; If none of them are given and a relative file path is specified by the
91; "BootSectorFile" value, the default boot partition will be used instead.
92;
93; When a non-zero partition is specified (either via "BootPartition" or
94; via the "BootPath" ARC path), the drive is accessed in partitioned mode,
95; and the "BootSectorFile" option is checked for its presence.
96;
97; BootSectorFile - File name of the boot sector to be loaded.
98; It can be either relative to "BootDrive" and "BootPartition"
99; (or to "BootPath"), or be an absolute ARC path, in which case
100; the "BootDrive" and "BootPartition" (or "BootPath") values
101; will only be used to set the boot partition.
102
103; ["Linux" OSType] Section Commands:
104;
105; BootDrive - BIOS drive number to be used.
106; BootPartition - Partition number to be used (cannot be 0).
107;
108; REMARK: If a "BootPath" ARC path is specified, its value takes precedence
109; over both the "BootDrive" and "BootPartition" values.
110;
111; REMARK 2: The "BootDrive", "BootPartition" and "BootPath" values are optional.
112; If none of them are given and a relative file path is specified by the
113; "Kernel" or "Initrd" values, the default boot partition will be used instead.
114;
115; Kernel - Kernel file name to be used.
116; It can be either relative to "BootDrive" and "BootPartition"
117; (or to "BootPath"), or be an absolute ARC path, in which case
118; the "BootDrive" and "BootPartition" (or "BootPath") values
119; will only be used to set the boot partition.
120; Initrd - Optional init ramdisk file name to be used.
121; The same remarks about the path for "Kernel" also apply here.
122; CommandLine - Boot load options for the kernel.
123
124; ["Windows(NT40|2003)" OSType] Section Commands:
125;
126; SystemPath - System root path (must be a valid ARC path), e.g.
127; multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\reactos
128; multi(0)disk(0)fdisk(0)
129; Options - Boot load options for the kernel.
130; Kernel - Kernel file name (default: ntoskrnl.exe)
131; Hal - HAL file name (default: hal.dll)
132;
133; REMARK: The "Kernel" and "Hal" values can be either relative to "SystemPath",
134; or be an absolute ARC path. Also they can alternatively be specified using
135; the NT-compatible "/HAL=filename" and "/KERNEL=filename" option switches to
136; the "Options" value, in which case the latter ones take precedence.
137
138; ["ReactOSSetup" OSType] Section Commands:
139;
140; This OS type is used to start the SETUP portion of NT / ReactOS.
141;
142; SystemPath - System root path (must be a valid ARC path), e.g.
143; multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\reactos
144; multi(0)disk(0)fdisk(0)
145; Options - Extra boot load options for the kernel and the
146; setup environment (see REMARK 2 below).
147;
148; REMARK: Contrary to the "Windows" type, this OS type does not support separate
149; "Kernel" and "Hal" values. Instead, these values must be specified using the
150; NT-compatible "/HAL=filename" and "/KERNEL=filename" option switches.
151;
152; REMARK 2: The SETUP portion retrieves the default boot load options from the
153; TXTSETUP.SIF file present in the installation source (section "[SetupData]",
154; values "OsLoadOptions" and "SetupDebugOptions"). Thus, any options specified
155; using the "Options" value will supplement those already obtained from the
156; TXTSETUP.SIF file, unless the "/SIFOPTIONSOVERRIDE" option switch is specified,
157; in which case the "Options" value overrides those from TXTSETUP.SIF.
