?glm aka help(glm) -- tells a quite a bit about this:
Overly terse summary:
glm(*, start = ..)
or for more possibilities (and less ease of use)
glm.fit(*, etastart = .)
or
glm.fit(*, start = .)
or
glm.fit(*, mustart = .)
-----
Actually I think, glm() could easily be enhanced to also accept
`etastart' and `mustart' since all of these "start" arguments
would just be passed to glm.fit() ...
