/LOAD_STEP/LOG/MESSAGE/SEVERITY

/LOAD_STEP

   Indicates the step of the booting process in which you want the
   image loaded. Valid load steps are INIT (which causes the the
   system initialization code to load the image), and SYSINIT (which
   causes the SYSINIT process to load the image).

   If you do not specify a value for the /LOAD_STEP qualifier, it
   defaults to SYSINIT.

/LOG

     /LOG
     /NOLOG

   Controls whether the SYS_LOADABLE ADD command displays a
   notification after the entry has been added.

/MESSAGE

   Allows you to specify the text of a message that is displayed when
   the appropriate condition is met (see the /SEVERITY qualifier).
   The default message is "system image <IMAGE> load failed".

/SEVERITY

   Determines how the image load status will affect console output
   and booting progress. You can specify the following values for
   this qualifier:

   o  FATAL-If an error occurs loading the image, display the error
      message and BUGCHECK information.

   o  INFORMATION-Always displays the message and continues
      processing.

   o  SUCCESS-Continue even if there is an error loading the image.
      Does not display the message.

   o  WARNING-If an error occurs loading the image, display the error
      message and continue processing.

   If you do not specify a value for the /SEVERITY qualifier, it
   defaults to WARNING.

   IMAGES.IDX.
