Once the kernel is loaded by either loader (as usual) or boot2 (bypassing the loader), it examines its boot flags, if any, and adjusts its behavior as necessary.
Here are the more common boot flags:
during kernel initialization, ask for the device to mount as the root filesystem.
boot from CDROM.
run UserConfig, the boot-time kernel configurator
boot into single-user mode
be more verbose during kernel startup
Note: There are other boot flags, read boot(8) for more information on them.
