I should add... |

1) you can enter multiple parameters on the commandline, separated by a |
| 23 |
space. For an incomplete list of boot parameters, scroll through... |
| 24 |
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v4.14/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.html |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
2) these instructions work for a LILO boot. On a GRUB boot system, if |
| 27 |
you want to add one-time kernel boot parameter(s), see... |
| 28 |
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelBootParameters for instructions. |
