Trying to stop FBA for whatever reason?

Trying to stop FBA for whatever reason?

While trying to debug something that was failing during FBA I realized that I really needed to stop FBA and try out the command manually to see what the issue really is - since FBA hides the output from Generic Commands. Since I'm busy with a lot of different projects I needed a very quick solution. What did I find out? I found out that if one adds to their "Extra Registry Settings" a FBA Generic Command resource to launch a Command Line that it would both A) stop the FBA Process and B) allow me to mess with the system.

In my above test I needed to stop FBA before it rebooted at phase 8500. The closest one can get to that is to add the resource to phase 8499. It's also important that you remember to put the /k into the arguments field as that will cause the CMD process to stay. When you're done with whatever you're doing - just type 'exit' (like you normally would to exit a Command window and FBA will go about it's merry way. ;-)

Just remember - you can seriously mess up your image at this stage if you don't know what you're doing so proceed with caution. Don't hose yourself becuase you want to play around before FBA is complete. *grin*
