Data 1
[7] - 1b = Boot flags valid. The bit should be set to indicate that

valid flag data is present. This bit may be automatically cleared

based on the boot flag valid bit clearing parameter.
[6:0] - Reserved
BIOS support for the following flags is optional. If a given flag is

supported, it must cause the specified function to occur in order

for the implementation to be considered to be in conformity with

this specification.
The following parameters represent temporary overrides of the

BIOS default settings. BIOS should only use these parameters for

the single boot where these flags were set. If the bit is 0b, BIOS

should use its default configuration for the given option.
