The script  /etc/conf.d/rc  contains the following lines :

  # RC_USE_CONFIG_PROFILE allows you to have different /etc/conf.d files
  # based on your runlevel - if a conf.d file for your profile does not exist
  # then we try and use the default one.
  # To enable runlevel selection at boot, append "softlevel=foobar" to your
  # kernel line to change to the foobar runlevel. Or "rc foobar" at the command
  # prompt.

  RC_USE_CONFIG_PROFILE="yes"

Can anyone explain what this means ?

Eg how do you define different  conf.d  files ?
Why does it suddenly talk about enabling runlevel selection at boot ?
What does it mean by "kernel line" ?  What is the "command prompt" here ?

The kernel doc for parameters has nothing about "softlevel".

Have I had too long a day or is this something which needs updating ?
