filename is a descriptive name for the file, and may be one to

sixteen characters in length. Valid characters are lowercase letters
(a–z), uppercase letters (A–Z), digits (0–9), and the following
characters: ~ ’ @ # $ % ^ & ( ) _ - { }. Invalid characters are: ! * + = “|
\ [ ] ; : ? / , < >.

ext is a file name extension of three characters in length, preceded

by a period (.). The extension is used by the switch to determine
the file type.

The following is an example of a valid file name for a boot configuration
file:

standardconfig.cfg

The following is an example of an invalid file name:

sys/head_o.cfg

The backslash character (/ ) is not a valid character because
subdirectories are not supported.
