For multiuser boot, this needs to be - set to "a". To see a list of all variables on your machine, use the "show" command with no arguments. You can bypass the boot_file and boot_osflags values from the command prompt, with the -fi (to override boot_file) and -fl (to override boot_osflags) options. For example, - boot -fi bsd -fl ac dka0 - will boot the "bsd" kernel with the "ac" flags on dka0. However, some + boot -fi bsd -fl c dka0 + will boot the "bsd" kernel with the "c" flag on dka0.
