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).
62
63; ["Drive" OSType] Section Commands:
64;
65; BootDrive - specifies the BIOS drive number to be used.
66;
67; REMARK: If a "BootPath" ARC path is specified, its value takes precedence
68; over the "BootDrive" value.
69
70; ["Partition" OSType] Section Commands:
71;
72; BootDrive     - specifies the BIOS drive number to be used.
73; BootPartition - specifies the partition number to be used (default: 0).
74;
75; REMARK: If a "BootPath" ARC path is specified, its value takes precedence
76; over both the "BootDrive" and "BootPartition" values.
77
78; ["BootSector" OSType] Section Commands:
79;
80; BootDrive      - specifies the BIOS drive number to be used.
81; BootPartition  - specifies the partition number to be used (cannot be 0).
82;
83; REMARK: If a "BootPath" ARC path is specified, its value takes precedence
84; over both the "BootDrive" and "BootPartition" values.
85;
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.
89;
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.
95
96; ["Linux" OSType] Section Commands:
97;
98; BootDrive     - specifies the BIOS drive number to be used.
99; BootPartition - specifies the partition number to be used (cannot be 0).
100;
101; REMARK: If a "BootPath" ARC path is specified, its value takes precedence
102; over both the "BootDrive" and "BootPartition" values.
103;
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.
107;
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.
116
117; ["Windows(NT40|2003)" OSType] Section Commands:
118;
119; SystemPath    - specifies the system root path (must be a valid ARC path):

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)
125;
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.
130
131; ["ReactOSSetup" OSType] Section Commands:
132;
133; No options defined for the moment. This OS type is used to tell FreeLdr
134; to start the SETUP portion of NT / ReactOS.
