Last Known Good boot.ini switch??

[Jason D. Hall]

Does anyone know if there is a "OS Load Option" switch
that you can use in the boot.ini file to boot into the
Last Known Good configuration?

If anyone's interested in tinkering with their boot.ini
entries, here are the switches I've come across so far....

/safeboot:minimal = Safe Mode
/safeboot:network = Safe Mode with Networking
/safeboot:minimal(alternateshell) = Safe Mode with
Command Prompt
/bootlog = Enable Boot Logging
/basevideo = Enable VGA Mode
/safeboot:dsrepair = Directory Services Repair
/debug = Enter Debugging Mode

So, the only one left is Last Known Good....unless of
course it involves a startup sequence more complex that
just adding a /switch...

Would appreciate any information anyone has....THANKS!

True enough...but in a courageous effort to "improve"
upon Microsoft's XP BootLoader in my particular
setup....I wanted to add entries to the bootloader
already preconfigured to load the options I use most
often. I know! I know! It's just a few extra key presses
to go F8 and select the option....but hey, I type enough
as is!! )

So, when the bootloader comes up, instead of different
operating system choices, I would have different load
option choices for the same operating system. In order
to add Last Known Good to the list, I need to know it's
load option switch, or would be satisfied to know that
there isn't a simple switch to boot to LKG

Here's how my boot.ini looks now (the ??????????? at the
end is what I'm looking for):
