Commands defined by interface log_object

log, log-group, log-level, log-size, log-type

Commands

cmos-base-mem	set base memory size
cmos-boot-dev	set boot drive
cmos-extended-mem	set extended memory size
cmos-floppy	set floppy parameters
cmos-hd	set fixed disk parameters
cmos-info	print information about the CMOS area
cmos-init	initialize some CMOS values
info	print information about the device
status	print status of the device

<x86-apic-system>.cmos-base-mem
Synopsis: <x86-apic-system>.cmos-base-mem kilobytes
Description: Sets the amount of base memory (in kB).
This command will update the proper location in the CMOS so that the BIOS will know how much memory is installed in the system. Operating system that use the BIOS to find out the memory size will get confused if this size is set incorrectly (especially if it is set too high). The maximum amount that can be set is 640kB.

<x86-apic-system>.cmos-boot-dev
Synopsis: <x86-apic-system>.cmos-boot-dev "drive"
Description: Specifies boot device for the BIOS in the CMOS.
Parameters: A or C, or floppy or HD boot. Default is C.

<x86-apic-system>.cmos-extended-mem
Synopsis: <x86-apic-system>.cmos-extended-mem megabytes
Description: Sets the amount of extended memory (in MB).
This command will update the proper location in the CMOS so that the BIOS will know how much memory is installed in the system. Operating system that use the BIOS to find out the memory size will get confused if this size is set incorrectly (especially if it is set too high). The maximum amount that can be set is 63MB.

<x86-apic-system>.cmos-floppy
Synopsis: <x86-apic-system>.cmos-floppy "drive" "type"
Description: Sets information in the CMOS about floppy drives.
Drive is either A (primary drive) or B (secondary drive), and type is the maximal drive size (in kB or MB); 360, 720, 1.2, 1.44, 2.88. Setting type to "none" indicates to the OS/BIOS that no drive is present. Since both arguments are strings, quoting is sometimes necessary.

<x86-apic-system>.cmos-hd
Synopsis: <x86-apic-system>.cmos-hd "drive" cylinders heads sectors_per_track
Description: Sets information in the CMOS about the primary hard disk ("C") and the secondary hard disk ("D").

<x86-apic-system>.cmos-info
Synopsis: <x86-apic-system>.cmos-info
Description: Print detailed information about the CMOS information from the RTC device.

<x86-apic-system>.cmos-init
Synopsis: <x86-apic-system>.cmos-init
Description: Set initial CMOS values in the RTC device.
This is miscellaneous data that is not set by any of the other cmos-* commands. Note that the CMOS values only has to be set if not running from a saved configuration. A saved configuration will have all values stored in the NVRAM area, and the cmos-* commands need only be used if some values have to be changed.

<x86-apic-system>.info
Synopsis: <x86-apic-system>.info
Description: Print detailed information about the configuration of the device.

<x86-apic-system>.status
Synopsis: <x86-apic-system>.status
Description: Print detailed information about the current status of the device.
