438
                  for Xen PVM, while for KVM it is only used if the

                  setting this to <userinput>single</userinput> will
448
                  cause the instance to start in single-user mode.

          The <option>--extra</option> option is used to pass
1340
          additional argument to the instance's kernel for this start

          only. Currently there is no way to specify a persistent set
1342
          of arguments (beside the one hardcoded). Note that this may
1343
          not apply to all virtualization types.
