Clear me. I understand that after I installed debian with the debian installer for passing new parameters to the kernel I have to: 1) do what with [1]. And how? 2) Run apexctl? 3) Reboot?
The instructions are on the wiki page: <quote> To replace the Debian etch APEX copy, download etch-modified-mtdblock2.bin, and copy it to your NSLU2. You may want to make a backup of you current flash at this stage (see the NSLU2/Debian FAQ). Then do $ su -c 'cat etch-modified-mtdblock2.bin > /dev/mtdblock2' to overwrite the existing copy of APEX in the NSLU2 flash. Check that your APEX configuration matches the one listed above by doing $ sudo apex-env printenv If it does, you should be able to change the kernel command line stored in the APEX configuration environment by by doing $ sudo apex-env setenv 'console=ttyS0,115200 rtc-x1205.probe=0,0x6f noirqdebug' You can add any additional kernel options you want to set, e.g. 'rootdelay=10' to the end of the kernel command line. See 'apex-env --help' or 'man apex-env' for more information. </quote> Once you have once this procedure, apexctl will be able to modify the APEX configuration environment. The kernel command line is stored in this environment. Note that you *only* need to do this procedure if you _want_ to modify the kernel command line. Once you have modified the kernel command line, you'll have to reboot to load the kernel with the new kernel options. If anything goes wrong, and your NSLU2 does not boot, then use upslug2 to write the backup copy of your flash image to your NSLU2 (see the start of the instructions above) to get a working system again. The procedure for making a backup of your existing flash is described in the FAQ [2]. Does this help?
