System.config/Instance0.table "Instance" ConfigurationKey.

Hi.

 I'm looking for more information on the Configuration Key Instance. From the NeXTSTEP 3.3 NS3.3 DriverKit Configuration Keys (https://www.nextop.de/NeXTstep_3.3_Developer_Documentation/OperatingSystem/Part3_DriverKit/Appendices/ConfigurationKeys.htmld/index.html)

QuoteInstance

   Example:    "Instance" = "0";
   

The instance number of this configuration file. Configure automatically specifies this key in Instancen.table files, but you should specify "Instance" = "0" in default files.

From Chapter 9 of NeXTSTEP 3.3 Network System Administrators manual - Starting up An Intel Based Computer (http://www.cilinder.be/docs/next/NeXTStep/3.3/nsa/09_StartShut.htmld/index.html)

config Specifies the configuration data to use to start up the computer. Instance0 selects the current configuration you created with Configure; Default selects the configuration you used to install NEXTSTEP.

 I remember playing around with it by mistake and by entering a different value, I was able to make a different config, so when I used "config=VBox" at boot or on VirtualBox I was able to boot my VirtualBox config so it made it easier to create the image on VirtualBox and then /bin/dd to my actual HDD on my laptop. Just looking for some more information or pointers.

Thanks
