- BOOT METHODS
-
- At the boot: prompt you can enter a boot method followed by boot
- parameters. (Boot parameters are listed in the <F4> and <F5> screens.)
-
- Available boot methods:
- default
- Start the installation.
-
- (For these two methods you need an extra root floppy.)
- ramdisk0 (or ramdisk1)
- Start installation, load the ramdisk from the first
- (or the second) floppy drive
- floppy0 (or floppy1)
- Start installation, mount the floppy in the first (or the second)
- floppy drive as root.
- (If you have only one floppy drive, you cannot load base from
- floppy0, but you can install from other media (CD, harddisk ...)
-
- rescue
- Boot and mount any root filesystem. The root filesystem must be given at
- the prompt, so e.g. type rescue root=/dev/hda1
