58 ; ReactOSSetup, Linux, BootSector, Partition, Drive
59 ; BootPath - ARC path, e.g. multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(x)partition(y)
60 ; DriveMap - maps a BIOS drive number to another (i.e. DriveMap=hd1,hd0
61 ; maps harddisk1 to harddisk0 or DriveMap=fd1,fd0).
63 ; ["Drive" OSType] Section Commands:
65 ; BootDrive - specifies the BIOS drive number to be used.
67 ; REMARK: If a "BootPath" ARC path is specified, its value takes precedence
68 ; over the "BootDrive" value.
70 ; ["Partition" OSType] Section Commands:
72 ; BootDrive - specifies the BIOS drive number to be used.
73 ; BootPartition - specifies the partition number to be used (default: 0).
75 ; REMARK: If a "BootPath" ARC path is specified, its value takes precedence

78 ; ["BootSector" OSType] Section Commands:
80 ; BootDrive - specifies the BIOS drive number to be used.
81 ; BootPartition - specifies the partition number to be used (cannot be 0).
83 ; REMARK: If a "BootPath" ARC path is specified, its value takes precedence

86 ; REMARK 2: The "BootDrive", "BootPartition" and "BootPath" values are optional.
87 ; If none of them are given and a relative file path is specified by the
88 ; "BootSectorFile" value, the default boot partition will be used instead.
90 ; BootSectorFile - specifies the file name of the bootsector to be loaded.
91 ; It can be either relative to "BootDrive" and "BootPartition"
92 ; (or to "BootPath"), or be an absolute ARC path, in which case
93 ; the "BootDrive" and "BootPartition" (or "BootPath") values
94 ; will only be used to set the boot partition.
96 ; ["Linux" OSType] Section Commands:
98 ; BootDrive - specifies the BIOS drive number to be used.
99 ; BootPartition - specifies the partition number to be used (cannot be 0).
101 ; REMARK: If a "BootPath" ARC path is specified, its value takes precedence
102 ; over both the "BootDrive" and "BootPartition" values.
104 ; REMARK 2: The "BootDrive", "BootPartition" and "BootPath" values are optional.
105 ; If none of them are given and a relative file path is specified by the
106 ; "Kernel" or "Initrd" values, the default boot partition will be used instead.
108 ; Kernel - specifies the kernel file name to be used.
109 ; It can be either relative to "BootDrive" and "BootPartition"
110 ; (or to "BootPath"), or be an absolute ARC path, in which case
111 ; the "BootDrive" and "BootPartition" (or "BootPath") values
112 ; will only be used to set the boot partition.
113 ; Initrd - specifies the optional init ramdisk file name to be used.
114 ; The same remarks about the path as for "Kernel" remain valid.
115 ; CommandLine - specifies the command line options for the kernel.
117 ; ["Windows(NT40|2003)" OSType] Section Commands:
119 ; SystemPath - specifies the system root path (must be a valid ARC path):
120 ; multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\reactos
121 ; multi(0)disk(0)fdisk(0)
122 ; Options - specifies the command line options for the kernel being booted.
123 ; Kernel - specifies the kernel file name (default: ntoskrnl.exe)
124 ; Hal - specifies the HAL file name (default: hal.dll)
126 ; REMARK: The "Kernel" and "Hal" values can be either relative to "SystemPath",
127 ; or be an absolute ARC path. Also they can alternatively be specified using the
128 ; NT-compatible "/HAL=filename" and "/KERNEL=filename" option switches to the
129 ; "Options" value, in which case the latter ones take precedence.
