Last Known Good boot.ini switch??

[Jason Hall]

True enough...but in a courageous effort to "improve"
upon Microsoft's XP BootLoader in my particular
setup....I wanted to add entries to the bootloader
already preconfigured to load the options I use most
often. I know! I know! It's just a few extra key presses
to go F8 and select the option....but hey, I type enough
as is!! :-))

So, when the bootloader comes up, instead of different
operating system choices, I would have different load
option choices for the same operating system. In order
to add Last Known Good to the list, I need to know it's
load option switch, or would be satisfied to know that
there isn't a simple switch to boot to LKG

Here's how my boot.ini looks now (the ??????????? at the
end is what I'm looking for):
----------------------------------------------------


[boot loader]
timeout=15
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOW S
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft
Windows XP Professional - Normal" /fastdetect
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft
Windows XP Professional - HW Detect"
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft
Windows XP Professional - Safe Mode" /safeboot:minimal
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft
Windows XP Professional - Net-enabled Safe
Mode" /safeboot:network
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft
Windows XP Professional - VGA Mode" /basevideo
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft
Windows XP Professional - Last Known Good
Configuration" /???????????
