The primary bootstrap boot flags are largely parallel to those of OpenVMS Alpha (see Section 14.3.5.2, though the console and the console mechanisms used to specify the boot command, the boot flags, and boot command options do differ markedly. You can specify the boot flags via an EFI environment variable VMS_FLAGS , or via the boot alias boot options mechanism, or by appending the requested boot flags onto the specification of VMS_LOADER.EFI. To set the bootstrap flags environment variable at the EFI shell prompt, use: Shell> SET VMS_FLAGS “0,1” When you register an EFI boot alias (please see Section 14.4.5 for Intel Itanium terminology), you will be asked if you want to enter boot options, and what type. To add boot flags to a boot alias, select Unicode as the boot options type, and enter an SRM-like options string, such as the conversational boot
