If your machine is not compatible with the bootloader on the cd, and |
| 4 |
you need to pass arguments to the kernel using openfirmware, don't |
| 5 |
forget to pass root=/dev/ram0 ;-p |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
All the other arguments are built into the kernel. The reason why this |
| 8 |
one isn't, is that it's not in the append= parameter in the bootloader |
| 9 |
config but has an extra root= line. I forgot to copy that one in. So |
| 10 |
for now, pegasos people have to pass no arguments, except for |
| 11 |
root=/dev/ram0 |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
sorry about that. If needed I'd be happy to recompile the kernel to |
| 14 |
include that flag. Will take me approx half an hour to get both cds |
| 15 |
updated. Your call ;-) |
