bootcfg /debug | new in WS2003 |
OS entry.
Syntax
bootcfg /debug {ON | OFF | EDIT} [/port {COM1 | COM2 | COM3 | COM4}]
[/baud {9600 | 19200 | 38400 | 57600 | 115200}] /id OSEntryLineNum
Options
- {ON | OFF | EDIT}
ON/OFF enables/disables remote debugging by adding
/debug switch to OS entry specified by
OSEntryLineNum while EDIT lets you modify
the port or baud rate settings- /port {COM1 | COM2 | COM3 | COM4}
Indicates which COM port should be used for debugging (omit if
OFF is specified)- /baud {9600 | 19200 | 38400 | 57600 | 115200}
Indicates the baud rate that should be used for debugging (omit if
OFF is specified)
Examples
Enable debugging on COM2 at 115200 baud for OS entry 2 in
boot.ini file:
bootcfg /debug ON /port COM2 /baud 115200 /id 2
SUCCESS: Changed the OS entry switches for line "2" in the BOOT.INI file.
Verify the result:
