CHEATCODES AND HINTS FOR GRML
==============================================================================
+*IMPORTANT NOTICE*: Some bootoptions may not work as expected (and documented) yet
+ because grml is based on a new framework named grml-live now - see
+ http://grml.org/grml-live/ for details. Please report all bootoptions
+ that do not work as expected. Thank you! http://grml.org/bugs/
+
These options (can be combined) work from the (isolinux/grub) bootprompt:
grml Use default settings (same as just pressing return)
+grml2ram Copy grml's squashfs file to RAM and
+ run from there (compare with 'grml toram')
memtest Run Memtest86+ instead of Linux
fb1280x1024 Use fixed framebuffer graphics (1)
fb1024x768 Use fixed framebuffer graphics (2) [notice: grml's default]
debug Get shells during process of booting for debugging
bootchart Create chart of booting sequence in /var/log/bootchart.tgz
forensic Do not touch any harddisks during hardware recognition
-splash Text based bootsplash
serial Activate ttyS0 and start mgetty
dos Boot FreeDOS
grub Boot into the Grub bootloader
