-x  safe boot
-v  boot in verbose mode, to see actual error or kernel panic error
-f   – reload all kext and dump the boot config cache
-s  – single user

-F
If you enter some extra boot flags into org.Chameleon.boot.plist, but they’re messing up your Hackintosh’s bootloader, enter the -F boot flag to ignore them.

-force64

-legacy
System loads in 32 bit mode while running on 64 bit version of Os X.
