SYSCFG 53
--osmode enable, disable This option enables or disables operating system
installation mode for installing operating systems.
Enabling this option causes the BIOS to only
report 256 MB to the operating system.
Some operating systems cannot be installed if
a system has more than 2 GB of memory.
This option can be replicated.
Example:
A:>syscfg --osmode=enable
osmode=enable
--
oswatchdogtimer
enable, disable If your system stops responding, the watchdog
timer aids in the recovery of your operating
system. When this option is set to enable, the
operating system is allowed to initialize the timer.
When set to disable (the default), the timer will
have no effect on the system.
Example:
A:>syscfg --oswatchdogtimer=enable
oswatchdogtimer=enable
--ovrwrt* NA This option is only used with the -o option to
cause the output file to be overwritten if a file of
the same name already exists. This option cannot
be replicated.
Example:
A:>syscfg -o=
filename .ini --ovrwrt
The file
filename has been
overwritten.
NOTE: The asterisk is not part of the command
syntax.
