"console=ttyS0,115200"
.IP \fBdebug\fP 4
Makes initramfs boot process more verbose.
+.br
+Use: debug=1
+.br
+Without setting debug to a value the messages may not be shown.
.IP \fBfetch\fP=\fIURL\fP 4
-Another form of netboot by downloading a squashfs image from a given url,
-copying to ram and booting it. Due to current limitations in busyboxs wget
-and DNS resolution, an URL can not contain a hostname but an IP only.
+.IP \fBhttpfs\fP=\fIURL\fP 4
+Another form of netboot by downloading a squashfs image from a given url.
+The fetch method copies the image to ram and the httpfs method uses fuse and
+httpfs2 to mount the image in place. Copying to ram requires more memory and
+might take a long time for large images. However, it is more likely to work
+correctly because it does not require networking afterwards and the system
+operates faster once booted because it does not require to contact the
+server anymore.
+.br
+Due to current limitations in busyboxs wget and DNS resolution, an URL can
+not contain a hostname but an IP only.
.br
Not working: http://example.com/path/to/your_filesystem.squashfs
.br
Also note that therefore it's currently not possible to fetch an image from
a namebased virtualhost of an httpd if it is sharing the ip with the main
httpd instance.
+.br
+You may also use the live iso image in place of the squashfs image.
.IP \fBignore_uuid\fP 4
Do not check that any UUID embedded in the initramfs matches the discovered
medium. live\-boot may be told to generate a UUID by setting
projects / live-boot-grml.git / blobdiff
