-Behavior up to grml 2009.05
----------------------------
-
-This section applies to all Grml versions older than and including release 2009.05.
-
-Autoconfiguration
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-By default the booting process tries to mount a device labeled 'GRMLCFG'. 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 <<X7,usage
-scenarios>> 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
-
-netscript::
- Use this parameter to download and run a script from specified
- destination: Usage example:
-
- netcript=server.tld/path/to/script => download and run script/executable from server
-
-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'
