- At the risk of pointing out something obvious:
-
- The console accepts one-time variations on the boot flags. If you just want
- to get at conversational SYSBOOT you need not change the variable. Just supply
- them in the boot command:
-
- >>> boot -flags 0,1 <device>
-
- where device is your system disk, will achieve the effect without changing your
- defaults.
-
- Hope the machine serves you well.
-
- Disclaimer: This stuff comes from me, not Digital. I just happened to know
- something about what was going on in this case.
