Invoked after the diagnostic and setup portion of the Pick boot process completes.

The commands executed by this macro vary from platform to platform, so its exact behavior can only be determined by looking at the macro, which usually exists in the 'md' of the 'dm' account.

Some of the commands typically executed by 'system-coldstart' are attached as related subjects.

Any site-specific commands to be executed at boot time should be placed in the 'user-coldstart' macro, which is automatically called after 'system-coldstart' completes. See 'user-coldstart' for more information.
