Hi all,
Here is my grub.cfg on an usb stick :
>>> -- grub.cfg

There's no root= option on the kernel line since this stick has
to be used on an arbitrary machine and the root partition will
have an undeterminated name. I thought that if no root= is
specified the kernel takes the partition were it is located as
root partition.
Anyway I suspect that without root= option, the rootwait option
has no effect since last time it boots very fast apparently
without waiting. And with an usb stick if it does not wait the
drive may not be available. Has this rootwait option any effect
if and only if the root= option is present ?
Yuou might say that I only have to indicate the root by its
uuid on the kernel line but, this seems to be possible only if
an initrd is used. And I would greatly prefer not to have to
setup an initrd.
Any suggestion ?
Thanks in advance !
Pierre
