5.6.2 Naming Configuration Files and Setting Their Selection Order at Boot

I. Naming configuration files
Table 5-26 Name configuration files
v 2.41cfg.cfg
v 2.41cfg.def
v 2.41cfg.txt
II. Selecting the configuration file
Following are how configuration files are selected at a system boot:
1) If you do not set to ignore configuration file booting, configuration files are selected
in the order described in 2) and 3). Otherwise, the system boots with empty
configuration.
2) If you specify a boot configuration file, the system selects its boot configuration file
in this order: the specified configuration file and then v 2.41cfg.def. In case v
2.41cfg.def does not exist, the system boots with empty configuration.
3) If you do not specify a boot configuration file, the configuration file is selected in
this order: v 2.41cfg.cfg, v 2.41cfg.txt, and v 2.41cfg.def. If none of them exists, the
system boots with empty configuration.
