RAMFSOS2 is an OS/2 recovery CD with a new boot technology using FreeLDR boot loader (developed by osFree team) and OS/2 booter for that bootloader.

Now it's posible to create a plenty of several boot configurations, available as FreeLDR menu items. Additionally, in the main menu you can choose a set of alpha-numeric keys to activate a so-called toggles which toggle a set of settings. Then settings specified via toggles from the main menu are substituted into boot.cfg file variables and so on, thus choosing a different boot configurations.

The authors have partly implemented a config file preprocessor. This way the settings set in the main menu are passed not only into boot.cfg but into config.sys and other configs too, plus depending on active bootloader variables, a pieces of file are inserted/deleted (like #ifdef directive in a C preprocessor) and a set of variables are substituted.
