Attributes Description
NV,W Used to tell the operating system whether a
modem is present on the COM1 or COM2 ports,
respectively.
On—Modem is present.
Off—Modem is not present (default value).
NV Sets the device on which power-up output is
displayed.
Graphics—Sets the power-up output to be
displayed at a VGA monitor or device connected
to the VGA module.
Serial—Sets the power-up output to be
displayed on the device that is connected to the
COM1 (MMJ) port.
NV Determines which memory locations the SRM
console will allocate for its private use.
Old—For 1 gigabyte or less, the console carves
memory from 0–2 megabytes and at the end of
memory, leaving all memory in between
available to the operating system. If there is
more than 1 gigabyte, the console creates a
"memory hole" for the operating system just
under 1 gigabyte.
New—The console takes all needed memory
from 0 megabytes to whatever amount is needed.
It does not matter how much memory is
installed and no holes are ever created.
