Abstract
Login files necessary to successfully boot a computer and corresponding to a preselected, minimal system configuration are stored in a predetermined location in a selected non-volatile mass storage device attached to the computer. These latter login files are not configurable by the user. During a boot process, the boot program first attempts to boot the system using the conventional user-configured login files. However, after a predetermined number of attempts to boot the system using the user-configured files, the boot process switches to the minimal system files and boots the system using these files.
