This is intentionally undocumented. In previous stable releases, concurrent boot was optional, and if you wanted to try out parallel boot, you had to enable it using CONCURRENCY. Nowadays, parallel startup using startpar is the default. Disabling this is not something which is useful, and so it's not documented as a tweakable option. The option could well be removed entirely in future releases. Regards, Roger -- .''`.
