- Welcome to the Slackware Linux (v. 3.3.0) bootkernel disk!
-
- If you need to pass extra parameters to the kernel, enter them at the prompt
- below after one of the valid configuration names (ramdisk, mount, drive2).
-
- Here are some examples (and more can be found in the BOOTING file):
- hdx=cyls,heads,sects,wpcom,irq (needed in rare cases where probing fails)
- or hdx=cdrom (force detection of an IDE/ATAPI CD-ROM drive) where hdx can be
- any of hda through hdh, Three values are required (cylinders,heads,sectors).
- For example: hdc=1050,32,64 hdd=cdrom
-
- In a pinch, you can boot your system with a command like:
- mount root=/dev/hda1
-
- On machines with low memory, you can use mount root=/dev/fd1 or
- mount root=/dev/fd0 to install without a ramdisk. See LOWMEM.TXT for details.
-
- If you would rather load the root/install disk from your second floppy drive:
- drive2 (or even this: ramdisk root=/dev/fd1)
-
- DON'T SWITCH ANY DISKS YET! This prompt is just for entering extra parameters.
- If you don't need to enter any parameters, hit ENTER to continue.
