Processor Number This parameter is the number of server processors in the Freeway

server minus one. Currently, a Freeway server can support only one

server processor. The only valid number for this parameter is 0.

FTP User Name If booting from a boot server, Freeway uses this name to log in to its

FTP (or RSH). The default is

freeway. This parameter is ignored if you

are booting from the local disk.

FTP Password If booting from the boot server, Freeway uses this password to log in to

its user account. The default is

password. If a password is given, FTP is

used during system boot; if it is cleared, the remote shell (RSH) proto-

col is used. This parameter is ignored if you are booting from the local

disk.

Flags This parameter specifies whether you want Freeway to:

• Autoboot two seconds after system reset, seven seconds after

system reset, or not at all

• Display the version numbers of the .mem files

• Force the primary boot network interface to operate at 10

megabits/second, half duplex

Enter the Flags value shown in Table 4–3 on page 109 that matches

your configuration requirements. The default

Flags value is 0. The

Flags word is an inclusive “OR” of the desired bits for the individual

functions.
