How does this switch actually work?
I tried the following commands...
bootnow.exe /None/run=tbexplo.tbs/noreboot
bootnow.exe 1/run=tbexplo.tbs/noreboot
bootnow.exe Windows 10 Pro/run=tbexplo.tbs/noreboot
bootnow.exe Windows 10 Pro/noreboot
bootnow.exe 1/noreboot
and bootnow just silently exits (no error message).
If I remove the '/noreboot' switch the commands work as expected.
I have tried this with bootnow v1.30a, v1.21b, and v1.21 with the same results.
Bootnow just silently exits...
Bootnow using /noreboot switch??

The /noreboot switch prevents the system from restarting after configuring it for the specified command. The command would take place when the system is next restarted.
Re: Bootnow using /noreboot switch??
Thank you, so obvious in hindsight. For some reason I was expecting some form of feedback but that wouldn't make sense for this.
Of course by running another command after it I was overwriting the previous command so I was never seeing the expected result.
I am curious as to where bootnow saves this command. Is this command saved to the bootit partition? Thanks for the clarification.

For BIBM, I think it's saved in the EMBR.
