for more.
+ .SS \fLdebugfactotum=\fP
+ Causes
+ .IR boot (8)
+ to start factotum with the
+ .B -p
+ flag, so that it can be debugged.
.SS \fLventi=value\fP
When booting from a local fossil server backed by a local
or remote venti server,

only the second.
+ .SS \fL*norealmode=\fP
+ The kernel switches the processor to 16-bit real mode
+ to run BIOS interrupts, for example to find the memory map or to enable VESA.
+ This variable disables such switches.
+ .SS \fL*noe820scan=\fP
+ When available, the kernel uses the BIOS E820 memory map
+ to size memory. This variable disables the scan.
.SS \fL*maxmem=value\fP
This defines the maximum physical address that the system will scan when sizing memory.
By default the operating system will scan up to 768 megabytes, but setting

must be less than 1.75 gigabytes.
+ This variable is not consulted if using the E820 memory map.
.SS \fL*kernelpercent=value\fP
This defines what percentage of available memory is reserved for the kernel allocation pool.
The remainder is left for user processes. The default
