2.3.2 boot_file
The boot_file environment variable specifies the default file name to be
used for booting when no file name is specified by the boot command.
The syntax is:
set boot_file filename
The filename is specific to the distribution of Linux.
2.3.3 boot_osflags
The boot_osflags environment variable sets the default boot flags.
Boot flags contain information used by the operating system to determine some
aspects of a system bootstrap. Under normal circumstances, you can use the
default boot flag settings.
To change the boot flags for the current boot only, use the flags_value argument
with the boot command.
The syntax is:
set boot_osflags flags_value
The flags_value argument is specific to the operating system.
For Linux, the boot_osflags value is set to zero.
