- Welcome to the Slackware Linux (v. 3.5.0) bootdisk!
-
- If you need to pass extra parameters to the kernel, enter them at the prompt
- below after one of the valid configuration names: ramdisk (to load a rootdisk
- into memory and boot it), and mount (to boot an existing Linux partition).
- NOTE: Most hardware is auto-detected without parameters. So, before assuming
- your system requires parameters, try a few different bootdisks. :^)
-
- Here are some examples (and more can be found in the BOOTING file):
- ramdisk hdx=cyls,heads,sects,wpcom,irq (needed only if probing fails)
- ramdisk hdx=cdrom (force detection of an IDE/ATAPI CD-ROM drive)
- where hdx can be any of hda through hdh. Examples: hdc=1050,32,64 hdd=cdrom
-
- If you would rather load the root/install disk from your second floppy drive:
- ramdisk root=/dev/fd1
-
- In a pinch, you can boot your Linux system with a command like:
- mount root=/dev/hda1
-
- DON'T SWITCH ANY DISKS YET! This prompt is just for entering extra parameters.
- If you don't need to enter any parameters, hit ENTER to continue.
