PPCRCD kernel command-line options

  Each of options if specified in cmdline will overwrite nvram options. nvram options can be disabled at boot time with nonv<option> specified in cmdline.

conf:

syntax:

conf=<device>[:<modules>[:<fs>[:<file>]]]

Load configuration from <device>, from <file> (if it isn't ppcrcd.xml.gz). First loads coma separated kernel modules (if needed for device) and mounts partition as <fs> filesystem (needed if can't be autodetected). <modules>, <fs> and <file> may be blank. Examples: config on /dev/hda5 (pmac-ide) in /conf2.gz file

conf=/dev/hda5:::conf2.gz

config on /dev/hda2 with hfsplus fs in (standart) ppcrcd.xml.gz file

conf=/dev/hda5::hfsplus

config on usb-storage, vfat

conf=/dev/sda1:usb-storage,sd_mod,ohci-hcd:vfat:ppc1.gz

eth:

syntax:

eth=<module>:<ip/mask>[:<gate>[:<dns1>[,<dns2>[,...]]]]

Configure ethernet for ethernet card supported by <module>. Note: this option may be buggy with autodetection in udev enabled. Multiple eth options are allowed. IP/mask can be one of: 192.168.0.2/24, dhcp or pump. Last eth with gate specified will become default route. All dns of each eth will be added to '/etc/resolv.conf'. Example:

eth=sungem:192.168.0.5/24:192.168.0.2:192.168.0.2

keytable=<name>:

Preset system keytable. Ex., spanish keytable:

keytable=es

modpre:

syntax:

modpre=<module1>[,<module2>[,<module3>[...]]]

Loads modules just after udev start, before debug shell. Ex.:

modpre=usbhid,ohci-hcd

modules=<module1>[,<module2>[,<module3>[...]]]:

Adds module(s) to /etc/modules. Ex.:

modules=therm_adt746x

nosplash:

disable fbsplash

swap:

enable autodetected swap partition(s)

swap=<dev1>,<dev2>:

enable swap partition(s) on specified devices

debugr / debug:

put debugging information (set -x), and runs sh at startup to allow do something

noauto:

disable udev automation

nodetect:

Don't try to autodetect hardware. (does not affect udevs autodetection)

nomd:

don't try to autodetect md partitions

nonet:

Don't start network services at boot time. Changes ONBOOT value to "no" in ifcfg-* scripts

nonvconf:

don't load config specified in nvram

nonveth:

don't configure ethernet specified in nvram

nonvkeytable:

Don't setup key table using nvram informations.

nonvmodpre:

don't load modules specified in nvram modpre option

nonvmodules:

don't use nvram modules option

nonvservice:

Don't start services specified in nvram

nonvswap:

don't enable swap partitions even if specified in nvram

verbose:

be more verbose

verbose=<L>

Sets verbosity level to <L>, (min 0, max 5). Without <L> specified it's 0.

debugi / debug:

put debugging information (set -x)

stop:

runs shell at end of initrd script

modpre=<module1>[,<module2>[,<module3>[...]]]:

load specified modules

memtest:

enter memtest mode

tomempost:

load image to ram
