Usage example: grml toram=grml-medium.squashfs
Notice: grml2ram is an alias for this option which
corresponds with the grml flavour settings by default
-grml tohd=/dev/sda1 Copy Grml's squashfs file to harddisk partition for later
- use via "grml bootfrom=/dev/sda1"
grml bootfrom=/dev/sda1 Use the squashfs file from directory 'live' of the specified device
- Setup can be done booting 'grml tohd=/dev/sda1' or
- running 'rsync -a --progress /run/live/medium/live /media/sda1/'
+ Setup can be done by executing:
+ rsync -a --progress /run/live/medium/live /media/sda1/
+ NOTE: you can can also use bootfrom=/dev/disk/by-label/yourlabel
+ (adjust yourlabel as needed), which should prevent choosing the
+ wrong block device (e.g. if more than one disk is present).
grml bootfrom=removable Restrict search for the live media to removable type only.
grml bootfrom=removable-usb Restrict search for the live media to usb mass storage only.
grml isofrom=[fs:][/device]/grml.iso Use specified ISO image for booting.
override the automatic detection, like in "reiserfs:/dev/sda1/grml.iso".
As an example, boot the according grml kernel and initrd using the
bootoptions "boot=live isofrom=btrfs:/dev/vda40/path/to/grml.iso"
- Notice: "fromiso" does the same as "isofrom", it's just there
+ NOTE: "fromiso" does the same as "isofrom", it's just there
to prevent any typing errors
+ NOTE: you can can also use isofrom=/dev/disk/by-label/yourlabel
+ (adjust yourlabel as needed), which should prevent choosing the
+ wrong block device (e.g. if more than one disk is present).
grml findiso=/grml_2010.12.iso Look for the specified ISO file on all disks where it usually
looks for the .squashfs file (so you don't have to know the device name
as in isofrom=....).
