This -provides the possibility to restore a configuration (named config.tbz) and -execute a script (named grml.sh) without the need to specify any bootparams. If -you want to disable this feature please take a look at the 'noautoconfig' -bootparam. - -Boot parameters -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - -As you probably know you can adjust boot parameters on the bootprompt. You want -to set some boot parameters permanently? That's possible via adding a directory -named 'bootparams' to the Grml-ISO which has to be located at the root-directory -/bootparams/ (note: the directory is known as /live/image/bootparams/ on a -_running_ grml system then). Place a textfile inside the directory containing -the boot parameters which should be appended to default ones (this corresponds -to booting without any special parameters). If you want to be able to boot from -your Grml-CD you have to create a multisession CD. See the <> for more details how to use it or consider booting from a USB device -(checkout grml2usb). - -The following boot parameters are supported. Use them at the (isolinux) -bootprompt as documented here. - -myconfig:: - - This parameter is for restoring configuration using the file config.tbz - on the specified device. Usage examples: - - myconfig=/dev/sda1 => use file config.tbz from usb-device - myconfig=/dev/fd0 => use file config.tbz from floppy-disk - myconfig=/dev/sda1 file=config_foobar.tbz => use file config_foobar.tbz from usb-device - -home:: - - This parameter is for setting a specific partition as home directory. - Usage examples: - - home=/dev/sda3 => use /dev/sda3 as the homepartition - home=scan => scan through the available partitions and search - for file grml.img - -partconf:: - - This parameter mounts the specified device in read-only mode and tries to - copy all files specified in /etc/grml/partconf to the Grml system. This - provides the possibility to use the configuration of a harddisk - installation. For example using the network configuration (which is - specified in /etc/network) is possible using this boot parameter. Usage - example: - - partconf=/dev/sda2 => try to mount /dev/sda2 and copy files specified - in /etc/grml/partconf to the booted Grml system - -netconfig:: - - Use this parameter to restore configuration using wget to download a - configuration file from specified destination. Usage example: - - netconfig=server.tld/path/to/config.tbz => restore configuration using wget to download file config.tbz - -extract:: - - Extract specific directories from configuration archive. Notice: This - bootparam is useful only with bootparams which are able to extract - configuration archives. - - extract=/home/grml => extract only /home/grml from archive - extract=/etc => extract only /etc from archive - extract=/home/grml/config => extract only $HOME/config from archive - -scripts:: - - This parameter executes a script located in the root-directory /scripts/ on - the Grml media/ISO (note: the directory is known as /live/image/scripts/ on - a _running_ Grml system then). Usage examples: - - scripts => run script [/live/image]/scripts/grml.sh - scripts=foobar.sh => run script foobar.sh in [/live/image]/scripts/ - -config:: - - This parameter restores a configuration using root-directory /config/ on the - Grml media/ISO (note: the directory is known as /live/image/config on a - _running_ Grml system then). Usage examples: - - config => restore configuration using file config.tbz from directory [/live/image]/config/ - config=config_foobar.tbz => restore configuration using file config_foobar.tbz from directory [/live/image]/config/ - -debs:: - - This parameter allows automatic installation of deb packages while booting. - The debian packages have to be located in the root-directory /debs/ on the - Grml media/ISO (note: the directory is known as /live/image/debs/ on a - _running_ Grml system then). Usage examples: - - debs => install all debian packages (suffix .deb) from directory [/live/image]/debs/ - debs=01 => install all debian packages (suffix .deb) starting with 01 in the filename from directory [/live/image]/debs/ - - -noautoconfig:: - - Deactivate automounting. By default the command 'mount' tries to mount a - device with label 'GRMLCFG'. If you specify the noautoconfig bootparam the - automounting will be deactivated. - - noautoconfig => disables auto mounting of label 'GRMLCFG' - -
