Forcing Safe-Mode Boot in Windows

[mike511]

Is there a way to Force a safe-mode boot in Windows. Is there a syntax you could put after the win.com that would make it boot safe-mode? I use Boot Magic for dual booting and the F8 button dosen't work cause right when you click on WIndows ME it loads it and i can't seem to get the menu to boot safe mode. Any one know how else i can?

Thanks,
MIke

win /d:m for safe mode
or
win/d:n for safe mode with networking

Or.....
In Msdos.sys, add or modify this line:

[Options]
BootMenuDefault=3

3 is the choice number of Safe Mode. If yours is different, change to match.
