ABSTRACT:
A computer system is selectively booted into an advanced configuration and power interface (ACPI) mode or a non-ACPI mode during computer system start-up, depending upon the status of a user specified flag. The instructions and data needed to boot the computer system into ACPI mode can be stored in a memory in a format not visible to the computer system operating system. A user can specify the desired boot mode through a user set-up routine.
