Enables debugging code. This might get messy, as it displays a lot of data to |
433 |
the screen. |

<dt>docache</dt> |
436 |
<dd> |
437 |
This caches the entire runtime portion of the CD into RAM, which allows you |
438 |
to umount /mnt/cdrom and mount another CDROM. This option requires that you |
439 |
have |
440 |
at least twice as much available RAM as the size of the CD. |
441 |
</dd> |
442 |
<dt>doload=X</dt> |
443 |
<dd> |
444 |
This causes the initial ramdisk to load any module listed, as well as |
445 |
dependencies. Replace X with the module name. |
446 |
<br/> |
447 |
Multiple modules can be specified by a comma-separated list. |
448 |
</dd> |
449 |
<dt>dosshd</dt> |
450 |
<dd> |
451 |
Starts sshd on boot, which is useful for unattended installs. |
452 |
</dd> |
453 |
<dt>passwd=foo</dt> |
454 |
<dd> |
455 |
Sets whatever follows the equals as the root password, which is required for |
456 |
dosshd since we scramble the root password. |
457 |
</dd> |
458 |
<dt>noload=X</dt> |
459 |
<dd> |
460 |
This causes the initial ramdisk to skip the loading of a specific module that |
461 |
may be causing a problem. Syntax matches that of doload. |
462 |
</dd> |
463 |
<dt>nonfs</dt> |
464 |
<dd> |
465 |
Disables the starting of portmap/nfsmount on boot. |
466 |
</dd> |
467 |
<dt>nox</dt> |
468 |
<dd> |
469 |
This causes an X-enabled LiveCD to not automatically start X, but rather, to |
470 |
drop to the command line instead. |
471 |
</dd> |
472 |
<dt>scandelay</dt> |
473 |
<dd> |
474 |
This causes the CD to pause for 10 seconds during certain portions the boot |
475 |
process to allow for devices that are slow to initialize to be ready for use. |
476 |
</dd> |
477 |
<dt>scandelay=X</dt> |
478 |
<dd> |
479 |
This allows you to specify a given delay, in seconds, to be added to certain |
480 |
portions of the boot process to allow for devices that are slow to initialize |
481 |
to be ready for use. Replace X with the number of seconds to pause. |
