Mostly they're just kernel parameters, so 
/usr/src/linux/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt would be one place. Then 
there are dracut and systemd parameters that can be passed, but I'm not aware 
of a consolidated place they're all discussed.

Re: Single user (rescue target) in SLES 12

On the subject of #CP VI VMSG... my brain/finger combination often had
problems trying to enter the command I wanted before the timeout
occurred. Eventually it dawned on me that I could enter '#CP' on its own
(or use PA1) to enter CP READ, after which I could take my time entering
the VI VMSG command correctly before restarting the virtual machine.

I'm sure this is old news to many of you, but I thought it worth
mentioning.

Hi, Mark.

Is there a list or doc someplace that has all of the valid PARM values
for IPL-ing SLES 12 in addition to the "PARM S" for getting into single
user mode?
Thanks.
