6-28 ROM-DOS Commands
MX2 Reference Guide Revision A MX2A137REFGD
SWITCHES
Type
CONFIG.SYS
Purpose
The SWITCHES command allows special CONFIG.SYS file options.
Syntax
SWITCHES=[/k][/n][/f]
Remarks
The /k argument makes an enhanced keyboard behave like a
conventional-style keyboard.
The /n argument prevents the use of the F5 and F8 function keys to
bypass the startup commands.
The /f argument instructs ROM-DOS to skip the delay after displaying
the Starting ROM-DOS... message at boot time. The delay allows
the user time to use the F5 and F8 options to alter the processing of the
startup files.
Examples
The following example prevents the user from using the F5 and F8 keys
at boot time.
switches = /n
