In systems running Windows Server 2008, you must edit the boot options with a different tool:
•
BCDEdit (bcdedit.exe) is a command-line tool for adding, deleting, editing, and modifying
boot data in a boot configuration data (BCD) store. The usage information provided below
is a quick summary of some of the main features. For a complete description of all arguments
and parameters, refer to the Microsoft documentation found here:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc709667(WS.10).aspx
Windows Server 2003 Systems Only
To edit boot options using the Bootcfg tool, complete the following steps:
1.
At the command-line prompt, enter the following command:
C:\>bootcfg
The current boot configuration appears, as shown in the following example:
Boot Options
------------
Timeout: 20
Default:
\Device\HarddiskDmVolumes\PhysicalDmVolumes\BlockVolume1\WINDOWS
CurrentBootEntryID: 1
Boot Entries
------------
Boot entry ID: 1
OS Friendly Name: Windows Server 2003, Enterprise
OsLoadOptions: /redirect
BootFilePath:
\Device\HarddiskVolume1\EFI\Microsoft\WINNT50\ia64ldr.efi
OsFilePath:
\Device\HarddiskDmVolumes\PhysicalDmVolumes\BlockVolume1\WINDOWS
Boot entry ID: 2
OS Friendly Name: Internal Bootable DVD
Boot entry ID: 3
OS Friendly Name: EFI Shell [Built-in]
In this example, you can see that "Boot entry ID 1" is the default Windows boot option. It
has only the out-of-band management (EMS or SAC prompt) configured as an option (the
"redirect" option). On some systems, the NOVESA option is listed here, too.
You must add a couple of options to enable live debugging. Make a copy of the boot entry
and then add the options.
2.
Make a copy of the default boot entry by issuing the following command:
C:\>bootcfg /copy /d
Enabled" /id 1
The system indicates that it successfully copied boot entry "1."
The new entry is copied to the bottom of the list and becomes the last entry. Because the
previous example contains only three boot entries, the new boot entry is assigned "ID 4"
(remember, this is only an example; if your system has more boot options, your ID number
will be higher).
3.
Issue the bootcfg command again to see the new boot entry ID 4:
C:\>bootcfg
The new boot configuration appears:
