@ -40,30 +40,6 @@ When the kernel is booted directly by the BIOS,
you have no opportunity to specify any parameters.
So, in order to take advantage of this possibility you have to
use a boot loader that is able to pass parameters, such as GRUB.
.\" The LILO program (LInux LOader) written by Werner Almesberger is the
.\" most commonly used.
.\" It has the ability to boot various kernels, and
.\" stores the configuration information in a plain text file.
.\" (See
.\" .BR lilo (8)
.\" and
.\" .BR lilo.conf (5).)
.\" LILO can boot DOS, OS/2, Linux, FreeBSD, UnixWare, etc., and is quite flexible.
.\"
.\" The other commonly used Linux loader is 'LoadLin', which is a DOS
.\" program that has the capability to launch a Linux kernel from the DOS
.\" prompt (with boot-args) assuming that certain resources are available.
.\" This is good for people that want to launch Linux from DOS.
.\"
.\" It is also very useful if you have certain hardware which relies on
.\" the supplied DOS driver to put the hardware into a known state.
.\" A common example is 'SoundBlaster Compatible' sound cards that require
.\" the DOS driver to twiddle a few mystical registers to put the card
.\" into a SB compatible mode.
.\" Booting DOS with the supplied driver, and
.\" then loading Linux from the DOS prompt with loadlin avoids the reset
.\" of the card that happens if one rebooted instead.
.SS The argument list
The kernel command line is parsed into a list of strings
(boot arguments) separated by spaces.
