Well it turns out that I might not be as stumped as I thought, but I did |
11 |
ask a dumb question. |
12 |
|
13 |
In order to add "reboot=bios" to the kernel command line, I tried |
14 |
editing the "isolinux.cfg" file under my gnap-extensions directory, like |
15 |
so: |
16 |
|
17 |
[...] |
18 |
append initrd=gentoo.igz root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc acpi=off looptype=squashfs loop=/livecd.squashfs cdroot |
19 |
|
20 |
Remastered, wrote the results to my CF card (I thought), and rebooted. |
21 |
|
22 |
Well, the package extension I added (elvis) shows up on my target |
23 |
machine, but /proc/cmdline doesn't include "reboot=bios". In fact it |
24 |
looks quite a bit different from the append= line above: |
25 |
|
26 |
initrd=gentoo.igz root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc acpi=off looptype=squashfs loop=/livecd.sfs cdroot=/dev/hda1 docache console=ttyS0,38400n81 BOOT_IMAGE=gentoo |

So clearly I've misunderstood something somewhere, and the question I |
29 |
should have asked is: How do I find and edit the grub.conf that will |
30 |
be installed on a GNAP system? |
31 |
|
32 |
(Sigh.) |
33 |
|
34 |
Thanks for any straightening out anyone can toss my way. |
