<EM> This is the BootPrompt-Howto, which is a compilation of all the
|
|
possible boot time arguments that can be passed to the Linux
|
|
kernel at boot time. A discussion of how the kernel sorts boot time arguments, along
|
|
with an overview of some of the popular software used to boot Linux
|
|
kernels is also included.</EM>
