Are multiple Debug modes possible with Vista?

[Del Fredricks]

I would like to have the option to boot Vista to use serial debug interface,
1394 debug interface, or no debug interface. I was able to do this with
multiple entries in the boot.ini under Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Server
2003, but is this possible with Vista?

It looks like there is one {debugsettings} definition which defaults to
serial and is changable to 1394 which is globally inherited. Perhaps I'm
missing it, bit I do not see how I can have a debugsettings with serial and
1394 configurations defined together on a system. Is it one or the other
only? Can one not add any "settings" over and above the Microsoft defined
ones and control where they are inherited?

All my machines only have serial connections, so I haven't tried
it myself, but I think you can specify different debug settings
for each boot entry. For example:

bcdedit /copy {current}/d SerialDebug

bcdedit /set {new_id} debugtype serial

This will list all available debug options:

bcdedit /? types bootapp
