Operating instructions

Linux Systems
The flags_value argument for Linux is 0 (zero).
Flags_value Arguments for Red Hat Distribution
0 Halt. (Do not set init default to this value.)
1 Single-user mode.
2 Multiuser, without NFS (same as 3, if you do not have networking)
3 Full multiuser mode (Default)
4 Unused
5 X11
6 Reboot. (Do not set init default to this value.)
Flags_value Arguments for SuSE Distribution
0 Halt. (Do not set init default to this value.)
S Single-user mode. (Default)
1 Multiuser without network
2 Multiuser with network
3 Multiuser with network and xdm
6 Reboot. (Do not set init default to this value.)
Single-user mode is typically used for troubleshooting. To make system
changes at this run level, you must have read/write privileges. The command to
boot Linux into single-user mode is similar to the following example, where “/”
root is in partition 2 of dka0, and the kernel is in /boot/compaq.gz.
P00>>> boot –file 2/boot/compaq.gz –flags “root=/dev/sda2 rw s”
Example
This following command sets the boot_osflags environment variable for Linux:
P00>>> set boot_osflags 0
