Full information on boot parameters can be found in the Linux BootPrompt HOWTO (http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/BootPrompt-HOWTO.html); this section contains only a sketch of the most salient parameters. -------schnipp-------------------------- This is a bit terse - We should at least describe how to address the patch and bootimage filename ... Like "Following the `bootp():' command you can give the path and name of the file to boot if you did not give an explicit name via your bootp/dhcp server - Example: `bootp():/boot/tftpboot.img'" Flo -- Florian Lohoff flo@rfc822.org +49-5201-669912 Nine nineth on september the 9th Welcome to the new billenium
