7980.3Does it work on V4.0B ?BRSTR1::DEMOORThu Jan 30 1997 05:3922
I am running V4.0B and I 'd like to set boot_osflags on an as255.

I do the following 

char buf[]="0,0";

status = setsysinfo(GSI_PROM_ENV, buf, sizeof(buf), "boot_osflags", 0);

if (status < 0 )
  {
   perror ("setsysinfo");
   }

I get an "invalid argument" back.

I looked in the man pages and I know it is not documented but ...
Is there a possibility to set console parameters yet ?


	thanks

Kurt

If it were, don't you think Digital UNIX would be using it in the installation
rather than asking you to set them manually?
