  • DIB_BOOTLOADER_VIRTUAL_TERMINAL sets the virtual terminal be used as a console. It defaults to tty0. When explicitly set to an empty string then no virtual terminal console kernel argument is added.

  • DIB_NO_TIMER_CHECK allows the default kernel argument, no_timer_check to be removed from the kernel command line when the value is set to False.
