Bug#366336: d-i adding extra kernel command line parameters -- BOOT_I

2006-05-14 Thread John Smith
Please close this bug, since it's a feature, not a bug: the text -- BOOT_IMAGE=full/path/to/the/kernel-image is added to the kernel command line. The fact that it's truncated at 256 characters, is probably due to the used bootloader. Sincerely, Jan. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL

Re: missing kernel-config file

2004-07-12 Thread John Smith
I guess he is referring to the initial netboot files, which consist only of the /initrd.img, /vmlinuz and /initrd.lst or the 'floppy' files which primarily consist of .img files. All can be openend and viewed without booting them by uncompressing and mounting them with the '-o loop' option.
