Boot options

From Easyneufenglish

Jump to: navigation, search

Some options are possible at the OpenGate startup (for the EasyGate, these changes should be impossible), to access boot options: press frequently echap during the startup, then you will obtain a menu, select the first entry (avoid using other entry so that you won't break break anything), press 'e', then select the line beginning with kernel and press 'e' again. Then you can add the options you want, you can find the options specific to the EasyOS in the list below, but there is many others valid for any linux kernel. Here are possible options, to put many options, seperate them by a space (it's necessary to put a space between the last argument and the first you add)

  • debug

Roughly equivalent to init=/bin/sh

  • fsoptions=ramdisk

Use the RAM instead of the memory, the final behavior is similar of doing fsoptions=clean at each startup

  • fsoptions=clean

Delete all personal data and configuration: returning to factory configuration

  • fsoptions=nocopy

By default EasyOS replaces all configuration files by factory configuration files whether they exists. This option avoid the replacement.

  • init=

Change the program launched at startup, default /sbin/init

  • rw=

Define the personnal data storage and configuration device. Default /dev/hda6.
