-UTC=[0,1]
- Use UTC=1 if the hardware clock is set to UTC or

+
+Options [page 2 of 4]:
+toram
+ Loads the whole CD contents (except sources and proprietary video
+ drivers) to RAM.
+
+ Note: this needs at least 512 MB of RAM, and you also need
+ to enable swap if you have less than 768 MB of RAM.
+
+nodhcp
+ Prevents the CD from attempting to obtain an IP address automatically.
+ May be required for wireless networking, because the WEP or WPA key
+ needs to be set up first.
+
+rootdelay=X
+ Waits X seconds before attempting to find the CD. Required (with X=20)
+ for booting from USB or FireWire CD-ROMs.
+
+all_generic_ide
+ Attempts to support unknown PCI IDE and SATA controllers (slow).
+ For SATA support to work with this option, the SATA controller
+ must be put into "Legacy" (as opposed to "Native") mode in the BIOS.
+
+resume=/dev/XXX
+ Uses /dev/XXX for software suspending (AKA hibernation) and resuming.
+ See /root/README for details.

+Options [page 3 of 4]:
+pata
+ Uses new libata-based drivers for IDE controllers. This option may be
+ required for controller detection or recommended for optimal performance
+ on computers manufactured in year 2006 and later.
+
+ Caution: new drivers are safe to use only with IDE chipsets from AMD, Intel,
+ ITE, JMicron, Marvell, Netcell, NVIDIA, Serverworks, Promise, Silicon Image,
+ VIA, or Winbond. Drivers for other chipsets are likely to contain bugs that
+ lead to data loss.
+
+new_firewire
+ Uses the new FireWire drivers.
+
+load=module1,module2,...
+ Loads the specified modules unconditionally from initramfs. Use if your SCSI
+ or IDE controller is not autodetected. If you don't specify this parameter
+ and the CD doesn't detect your SCSI or IDE controller, you will be dropped
+ into a debugging shell where you can load the needed module manually.
+
+blacklist=module1,module2,...
+ Prevents the specified modules from being autoloaded.
+
+module.option=value
+ Sets arbitrary module options.
