No mention of OSLOADOPTIONS in documentation for debian ALPHA
No mention of OSLOADOPTIONS in debian ALPHA setup documentation.
It took me a day to figure out how to pass arguments to MILO in
debian. I finally figured it out by stumbling on this piece in the
RedHat documentation:
<quote>
MILO Autoboot
In the ARC and AlphaBIOS consoles, the contents of the OSLOADOPTIONS
parameter are passed to MILO as a command. In order to boot Linux
automatically in MILO, enter a value for OSLOADOPTIONS similar to this
one:
boot sda2:/boot/vmlinux root=/dev/sda2
<unquote>
I thinks something similar should be added to the debian installation
manual.
