4.4.3 Using Custom Boot Options
Using the appropriate set of boot options helps facilitate your installation procedure.
Many parameters can also be configured later using the linuxrc routines, but using the
boot options is easier. In some automated setups, the boot options can be provided with
initrd or an info file.
The following table lists all installation scenarios mentioned in this chapter with the
required parameters for booting and the corresponding boot options. Just append all of
them in the order they appear in this table to get one boot option string that is handed
to the installation routines. For example (all in one line):
install=... netdevice=... hostip=...netmask=... vnc=... vncpassword=...
Replace all the values (...) in this string with the values appropriate for your setup.
