virt-xml: Enable/Disable the boot device menu for a specific domain.
$ virt-xml ${domain} --edit --boot bootmenu=${select}
try on your machine

This is a command used to edit the XML configuration of a virtual machine domain using the "virt-xml" tool. Here's a breakdown of the command:

  1. "${domain}": This is a placeholder indicating the domain name or ID of the virtual machine you want to edit. You would replace "${domain}" with the actual name or ID of the domain.

  2. "--edit": This option specifies that you want to modify the XML configuration of the specified virtual machine.

  3. "--boot bootmenu=${select}": This option is used to edit the boot options of the virtual machine. It sets the bootmenu attribute to the value of "${select}". Again, "${select}" indicates a placeholder that should be replaced with the desired value for the bootmenu attribute.

Overall, this command allows you to modify the boot behavior of a virtual machine by editing its XML configuration.
