Hello guys, In last days, I have revised the boot procedure in a Debian Live system, adding some useful options, I submit those to you, consider if that is interesting.
A litlle explanation of those options: ROOTDELAY=10s # must be allways enabled, because we are working with slow USB devices, and it takes some time to register them don't scan floppies for valid partitions anymore; because scanning floppy produces the redo_fd_request bug, in some machines; and floppies have very little capacity to store files, Check better for FSTYPE, detect invalid devices and don't scan them for subdevices. when a timezone is specified, specify also UTC=no in /etc/default/rcS Options name is not case sensitive; but when needed, their values are stored in their original lettercase. noeject - when stopping system; don't prompt to eject boot media and don't eject also, profile=name - the name of the desired profile, to be used in /etc/live.conf to set a configuration depending on his value, netconfig=domain,ipnameserver1,ipnameserver2 - when a static ip address is specified, we need also that values rootpersistence=rootpartitionlabel - the label of the partition containg the persistent root filesystem, live-rw by default norootpersistence - don't check for root persistence homepersistence=homepartitionlabel - the label of the partition containg the persistent home filesystem, home-rw by default nohomepersistence - don't check for home persistence rootsnapshotlabel=label ( and so on ) norootsnapshotlabel homesnapshotlabel=label nohomesnapshotlabel nosnapshots - don't look for snapshots at all systemdir=SystemDirName - the name of the directory containing filesystem.squashfs and other system files ( /live by default ) Attached is a file with the modifications I did, and in some manner, tested, Best regards, Jordi Pujol
