I'm using ltsp4.
How do you pass a run level to init when booting a ltsp kernel?
Here is my setup:
1. Workstation uses dhcp and tftp to boot nbgrub.
2. nbgrub provides a menu with choices:
Linux Terminal (ltsp)
windows on local disk
The nbgrub entry for the linux terminal looks like:
title Linux Terminal (ltsp)
root (nd)
kernel /lts/2.4.22-ltsp-2/bzImage-2.4.22-ltsp-2 init=/linuxrc rw root=/dev/ram0
initrd /lts/2.4.22-ltsp-2/initrd-2.4.22-ltsp-2.gz
That works great, I can boot ltsp or the local disk.
But, the other thing I want to do is have another entry in the grub
menu. Say: "Fix broken windows partition". This should boot ltsp but not
start the X server. It should start something like this from inittab:
dr:4:wait:/etc/rc.diskrefresh
rc.diskrefresh should copy images to the local disk and then reboot
the client.
But to do that, I need a runlevel 4. I have not been able to do that. I
thought:
kernel /lts/2.4.22-ltsp-2/bzImage-2.4.22-ltsp-2 init=/linuxrc rw root=/dev/ram0 4
would do it but the client always goes to runlevel 5
Any ideas? Am I doing this all wrong?
Cheers.
