-Aliases for kernel image, its functionality and options.

-tomem:
- Loads kernel and whole image in yaboot, then starts system normally.
- After booting CDROM will not be needed anymore. Requires 128Mb or
- more of ram. Should work with cdroms not connected to pmac-ide too.
- Options: all but "stop"

-fromcd:
- Loads kernel and initrd, starts system. In initrd searches for cdrom,
- mounts it and mounts image from it. CDROM will be needed (and blocked)
- as image is not copied to memory. Should run with 32Mb of RAM.
- Only cdroms connected pmac-ide will work (for now).

-tomempost:
- Like 'fromcd' loads kernel and initrd, starts system. In initrd
- searches for cdrom, mounts it, and then, copies image to root cd
- and mounts it from there. Umounts CDROM so drive can be used.
- Requires 128Mb of ram. Works only with cdroms connected to pmac-ide.
- This option should run faster than 'tomem' if you have DMA switched
- on, try adding ide1=ata66 or something similar (check ide help).

-memtest:
- Loads kernel and initrd. Searches for cdrom and mounts image as root
- (/) read-only, umounts initrd and flushes ramdisk. Starts memtester
- with all memory minus 3Mb and reduces amount by 0.5Mb until memtester
- will not be killed.
- Options:
- module= or modpre= cmdline option which loads specified
- modules
- debug - starts shell

-# vi: language=english
