james2mart Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 after no responses on this topic: http://forum.osx86project.org/index.php?showtopic=17259 I have decided to start a new topic for boot flags. If you didn't read the topic i listed above, i am unable to get osx on my toshiba qosmio G35-av600. Out of curiosity, having XP installed on another drive is not whats causing a problem is it? the drive is still plugged in, but i want to make sure that there are no conflicts. Aside from that, these are the boot flags that I know what they mean: -x -s -v -F debug=0x100 platform=ACPI platform=X86PC is there ANYTHING else at all that helps?

Rammjet Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 For newbies, you might want to list what -x, -s, -v and -F mean. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/19426-request-boot-flag-listing/#findComment-127251 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mindmage Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 I too believe it would be good to have a reference of some sort explaining different boot flags. Here are the ones I know: -v this enables Verbose Mode when booting; instead of the grey on white apple screen, you see text explaining what the system is doing. Very useful if your system isnt booting properly. -x puts into a "Safe Mode". usually lets your system boot if you messed up some configuration, i.e. improper editing of ATIRadeon9700.kext. "Graphics Mode"="1280x1024x32" lets you choose resolution (doesnt have to be 1280x1024) and color depth. I've read that you can add a "@60" (w/o quotes) to select refresh rate.

Hagar Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 From: http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.ph...he_boot_options (needs updating) "Graphics Mode"="1280x1024x32@85" i.e. widthxheightxbitdepth@frequency (frequency only supported on VESA 3) here is a quick guide to available VESA modes Also worth chucking in are: -vmware (switch for booting in vmware, supported by some 10.4.8 kernels) and -legacy (forces 32-bit mode) Descriptions not included above: -f forces rebuild of the kextcache, although this behaviour appears to have changed in 10.5. -s Singleuser mode, boots you to a comand prompt with a cli.
