The following bootoptions are supported. Use them at the bootprompt as documented here.
This option is for restoring configuration from a local file.
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
Specify filename of archive which should be restored. If no bootparam file=... is provided the default 'config.tbz' is assumed. Notice: use this bootparam in combination with bootparam myconfig.
file=foobar.tbz => use foobar.tbz as configuration archive
file=/path/to/config.tbz => use /path/to/config.tbz as configuration archive
Deactivate automounting. By default the command 'mount' tries to mount a device with label 'GRMLCFG'. If you specify the noautoconfig bootparam this automounting will be deactivated.
noautoconfig => disables auto mounting of label 'GRMLCFG'
TODO: documentation how to use labeling
Extract specific directories from configuration archive. Notice: This bootparam is useful only with bootparams which are able to extract configuration archives.
extract=home => extract only /home from archive
extract=etc => extract only /etc from archive
extract=configdir => extract only $HOME/config from archive
Use files from specific partition of local system. This option reads filelist from /etc/grml/partconf and tries to copy all existing files from given partition over the grml system. This provides the possibility to use for example a predefined network setup via /etc/network/interfaces.
partconf=/dev/hda2 => copy files specified in /etc/grml/partconf from /dev/hda2 to running grml-system
This option is for setting a specific partition as home directory.
home=/dev/hda3 => use /dev/hda3 as the homepartition
home=scan => scan through the available partitions and search
for file .grml_homedirectory
This option supports running a script located in /cdrom/scripts/.
scripts => run script /cdrom/scripts/grml.sh
scripts=foobar.sh => run script foobar.sh in /cdrom/scripts/
Use this option to restore configuration via using directory /cdrom/config (located in root-directory on a usb-device).
config => restore configuration using file config.tbz from directory /cdrom/config/
config=config_foobar.tbz => restore configuration using file config_foobar.tbz from directory /cdrom/config/
Use this option to restore configuration via using wget to download a configuration file from specified destination.
netconfig=protocol://1.2.3.4/path/to/config.tbz => restore configuration using wget to download file config.tbz
This options allows automatic installation of deb packages while booting.
debs => install all debian packages (suffix .deb) from directory /cdrom/debs/
debs=01 => install all debian packages (suffix .deb) starting with 01 in the filename from directory /cdrom/debs/
