BOOTNOW
~~~~~~~

This utility will allow you to choose a boot option from Linux.  
It is for use with BootIt Next Generation or BootIt 2.27+.
It will not work with BootIt Direct or BootIt Lite.

INSTALLATION:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Simply copy the files to a directory on your hard drive.

ISSUES:
~~~~~~~
bootnow must be run as the superuser.

You must update/create a file named drvmap.inf that maps the Linux device
files to the BIOS drive numbers.  For bootnow drive 80 (hd0) must be mapped
and bootnow must be able to read the drvmap.inf file.

For example: 80=/dev/hda

There are three different options for using bootnow:

1) By Menu Description - The example below boots an item named
   "The Descritpion"

    Example: bootnow The Description

   *NOTE: The description entered must match the boot menu description exactly.

2) By Entry Number:

   Example: bootnow 1           - This boots the first item on your boot menu
   Example: bootnow 5           - This boots the fifth item on your boot menu

3) By next entry:

   Example: bootnow /Next       - Boots the next item in your boot menu.

   *Note: Next can be any case (upper/lower/or mixed).

Addtionally you may specific an image set to be automatically executed
before booting the selection.  To do this you use the /ims=filename switch
where "filename" is an image set you created.  Note that you SHOULDN'T
include a space before the /ims switch.

   Example: BOOTNOW 1/ims=filename  - Executes the "filename" image set and
                                      then boots the first item.

   Example: BOOTNOW Boot Description/ims=filename
