The
secure
flag is a variable stored in non-volatile memory. (Non-volatile memory retains
its contents even after power is turned off.) If you reset this flag to a new value, the change
takes effect the next time you reboot the computer.
When the
secure
flag is set to on,
auto boot
and
auto search
are enabled and cannot be
stopped. The system boots from the default boot paths regardless of user intervention.
Note that the
secure
command must be executed from within the Boot Console Handler.
For information, reference the section “Accessing the Boot Console Handler” on page 158.
