It can be escaped (with a single %d) for the countdown 35; to be inserted at a specific place, instead of being 36; appended at the end. 37; StatusBarColor - Color of status bar's background. 38; StatusBarTextColor - Color of status bar's text. 39; BackdropTextColor - Color of the backdrop's fill. 40; BackdropColor - Color of the backdrop's background. 41; BackdropFillStyle - Backdrop fill style, can be one of the following: 42; None, Light, Medium, Dark. 43;

63; Text colors can be any one of the background colors and any of the following: 64; DarkGray, LightBlue, LightGreen, LightCyan, LightRed, LightMagenta, 65; Yellow, White, Default. 66; 67; Default color is the one that is being used by the firmware by default. 68; On PC/AT-compatible machines it's Gray, and on NEC PC-98 series it's White. 69 70; [OS-General] Section Commands: 71; 72; BootType - Specifies the boot type: BootSector, Linux, 73; Windows, WindowsNT40, Windows2003, ReactOSSetup. 74; 75; BootPath - ARC path, e.g. multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(x)partition(y) 76; 77; DriveMap - For BIOS-based PCs, maps a BIOS drive number to another 78; (i.e. DriveMap=hd1,hd0 maps hard-disk 1 to hard-disk 0; 79; or DriveMap=fd1,fd0 for mapping floppy disks). 80 81; ["BootSector" OSType] Section Commands: 82; 83; BootDrive - BIOS drive number to be used. 84; BootPartition - Partition number to be used (optional). 85; 86; REMARK: If a "BootPath" ARC path is specified, its value takes precedence 87; over both the "BootDrive" and "BootPartition" values. 88; 89; REMARK 2: The "BootDrive", "BootPartition" and "BootPath" values are optional. 90; If none of them are given and a relative file path is specified by the 91; "BootSectorFile" value, the default boot partition will be used instead. 92; 93; When a non-zero partition is specified (either via "BootPartition" or 94; via the "BootPath" ARC path), the drive is accessed in partitioned mode, 95; and the "BootSectorFile" option is checked for its presence. 96; 97; BootSectorFile - File name of the boot sector to be loaded. 98; It can be either relative to "BootDrive" and "BootPartition" 99; (or to "BootPath"), or be an absolute ARC path, in which case 100; the "BootDrive" and "BootPartition" (or "BootPath") values 101; will only be used to set the boot partition. 102 103; ["Linux" OSType] Section Commands: 104; 105; BootDrive - BIOS drive number to be used. 106; BootPartition - Partition number to be used (cannot be 0). 107; 108; REMARK: If a "BootPath" ARC path is specified, its value takes precedence 109; over both the "BootDrive" and "BootPartition" values. 110; 111; REMARK 2: The "BootDrive", "BootPartition" and "BootPath" values are optional. 112; If none of them are given and a relative file path is specified by the 113; "Kernel" or "Initrd" values, the default boot partition will be used instead. 114; 115; Kernel - Kernel file name to be used. 116; It can be either relative to "BootDrive" and "BootPartition" 117; (or to "BootPath"), or be an absolute ARC path, in which case 118; the "BootDrive" and "BootPartition" (or "BootPath") values 119; will only be used to set the boot partition. 120; Initrd - Optional init ramdisk file name to be used. 121; The same remarks about the path for "Kernel" also apply here. 122; CommandLine - Boot load options for the kernel. 123 124; ["Windows(NT40|2003)" OSType] Section Commands: 125; 126; SystemPath - System root path (must be a valid ARC path), e.g. 127; multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\reactos 128; multi(0)disk(0)fdisk(0) 129; Options - Boot load options for the kernel. 130; Kernel - Kernel file name (default: ntoskrnl.exe) 131; Hal - HAL file name (default: hal.dll) 132; 133; REMARK: The "Kernel" and "Hal" values can be either relative to "SystemPath", 134; or be an absolute ARC path. Also they can alternatively be specified using 135; the NT-compatible "/HAL=filename" and "/KERNEL=filename" option switches to 136; the "Options" value, in which case the latter ones take precedence. 137 138; ["ReactOSSetup" OSType] Section Commands: 139; 140; This OS type is used to start the SETUP portion of NT / ReactOS. 141; 142; SystemPath - System root path (must be a valid ARC path), e.g. 143; multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\reactos 144; multi(0)disk(0)fdisk(0) 145; Options - Extra boot load options for the kernel and the 146; setup environment (see REMARK 2 below). 147; 148; REMARK: Contrary to the "Windows" type, this OS type does not support separate 149; "Kernel" and "Hal" values. Instead, these values must be specified using the 150; NT-compatible "/HAL=filename" and "/KERNEL=filename" option switches. 151; 152; REMARK 2: The SETUP portion retrieves the default boot load options from the 153; TXTSETUP.SIF file present in the installation source (section "[SetupData]", 154; values "OsLoadOptions" and "SetupDebugOptions"). Thus, any options specified 155; using the "Options" value will supplement those already obtained from the 156; TXTSETUP.SIF file, unless the "/SIFOPTIONSOVERRIDE" option switch is specified, 157; in which case the "Options" value overrides those from TXTSETUP.SIF. 158 159 160[FREELOADER] 161MessageBox=Welcome to FreeLoader!\nCopyright (c) 2003 by Brian Palmer <brianp@sginet.com>\n\nThis is a sample FreeLoader configuration file.\nEdit FREELDR.INI to change the boot settings. 162DefaultOS=ReactOSHD 163TimeOut=10 164 165[Display] 166DisplayMode=NORMAL_VGA 167TitleText=Brian�s Custom FreeLoader Boot Disk 168StatusBarColor=Cyan 169StatusBarTextColor=Black 170BackdropTextColor=White 171BackdropColor=Blue 172BackdropFillStyle=Medium 173TitleBoxTextColor=White 174TitleBoxColor=Red 175MessageBoxTextColor=White 176MessageBoxColor=Blue 177MenuTextColor=White 178MenuColor=Blue 179TextColor=Yellow 180SelectedTextColor=Black 181SelectedColor=Gray 182ShowTime=Yes 183MenuBox=Yes 184CenterMenu=Yes 185MinimalUI=No 186SpecialEffects=Yes 187 188[Operating Systems] 189ReactOSHD="ReactOS (HardDrive)" 190;ReactOS_Debug="ReactOS (Debug)" 191ReactOSFloppy="ReactOS (Floppy)" 192Linux="Debian Linux" 193Floppy="3 1/2 Floppy (A:)" 194MSWinders="Microsoft Windows (C:)" 195DriveD="Drive D:" 196 197; Load ReactOS from harddisk (drive C:) 198[ReactOSHD] 199BootType=Windows2003 200SystemPath=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\reactos 201Options=/DEBUGPORT=SCREEN 202Kernel=\REACTOS\SYSTEM32\NTOSKRNL.EXE 203Hal=\REACTOS\SYSTEM32\HAL.DLL 204 205;[ReactOS_Debug] 206;BootType=Windows2003 207;SystemPath=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\reactos 208;Options=/DEBUG /DEBUGPORT=COM1 /BAUDRATE=19200 209;Kernel=\NTOSKRNL.EXE 210;Hal=\HAL.DLL 211 212; Load ReactOS from floppy (drive A:) 213[ReactOSFloppy] 214BootType=Windows2003 215SystemPath=multi(0)disk(0)fdisk(0) 216Options=/DEBUGPORT=SCREEN 217Kernel=\reactos\NTOSKRNL.EXE 218Hal=\reactos\HAL.DLL 219 220[Linux] 221BootType=Linux 222BootPath=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1) 223Kernel=/vmlinuz 224Initrd=/initrd.img 225CommandLine="root=/dev/sdb1" 226 227[Floppy] 228BootType=BootSector 229BootDrive=fd0 230 231[MSWinders] 232BootType=BootSector 233BootPath=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1) 234;DriveMap=hd1,hd0 235;DriveMap=hd2,hd0 236;DriveMap=hd3,hd0 237 238[DriveD] 239BootType=BootSector 240BootPath=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1) 241
