# Booting BoredOS
BoredOS uses the Limine bootloader, which provides a flexible way to configure the boot process and pass parameters to the kernel.
## Boot Parameters
You can modify system behavior at startup by passing specific boot flags.
### Verbose Boot (`-v`)
The `-v` flag enables the kernel console (`kconsole`) during the boot process. When enabled, the kernel will display detailed initialization logs on the screen. By default, this is often disabled in the included configuration for a cleaner "splash-only" boot experience.
#### Toggling Verbose Boot at Runtime
You can enable or disable the verbose boot log directly from the Limine boot menu without modifying the source files:
1. **Select Entry**: When the Limine boot menu appears, highlight the **BoredOS** entry.
2. **Edit**: Press `E` to enter the entry editor.
3. **Modify Flag**: Find the line containing `cmdline: -v`.
- To **Enable**: Remove the `#` character if the line is commented out (change `# cmdline: -v` to `cmdline: -v`).
- To **Disable**: Add a `# ` at the start of the line.
4. **Boot**: Press `F10` to boot using the modified parameters.
#### Persistent Configuration
To change the default behavior permanently, modify the `limine.conf` file in the repository root before building the ISO:
```conf
/BoredOS
protocol: limine
path: boot():/boredos.elf
cmdline: -v
```
