Hi All Interesting questions from a customer ...
I would like to limit the replies required during installation as much as possible. I would also like to limit the devices that Linux looks at during install. (LPAR install) With reference to the SLES9 Architecture-Specific Information manual, Appendix B, I would like to code something like: ramdisk_size=65536 root=/dev/ram1 ro init=/linuxrc TERM=dumb AUTOINSTALL=YES dasd=0007,0107,1127 IP_HOST=zLinux1.xxxx.com IP_SEARCH=xxxx.com IP_MTU=1492 IP_INTERFACE=QETH0 READ_DEVNO=3070 WRITE_DEVNO=30 71 DATA_DEVNO=3072 IP_ADDR=172.18.30.70 IP_NETMASK=255.255.0.0 IP_BROADCAST=172.18.255.255 IP_GATEWAY=172.18.0.1 IP_DNS=172.18.0.2 INST_PASSWORD=Passw0rd INST_SCREEN=VNC INST_INFO=ftp FTPUSER=root FTPPASSWORD=Passw0rd INST_IP_ADDR=172.18.200.200 INST_IP_DIR=installroot In the supplied /boot/parmfile, there are two x'0A's (Line Feed) at the end of the single line. In a multiple line parmfile, should there be two at the end of each line, or only at the end of the last line? Can one still code the parmline in EBCDIC with a prefix of EBCDIC? If so, must each line have the prefix, or only the first line? Hope someone can help with some answers Nico Potgieter South Africa ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
