– addgroup:<groupname>
Include the group with the name groupname into the image.
– auth
Include root authentication into the image. During image prepara-
tion, the user is asked for the root password, which is needed to log
in to the image system later.
– serial_console
Include serial console support into the image.
– set_serial
A runlevel script called setserial is included, which enables a ser-
vice to configure all available serial interfaces for raw access during
boot. This is needed for cash register systems providing more than
the standard /dev/ttyS0 and /dev/ttyS1 serial interfaces.
– set_alias: value
Include alias support. The boot process of the cash register stops
and asks for an alias name. Allowed values for this feature are the
following:
Value [n] greater than zero
The question for the alias name appears, but the user is forced
to enter a name within [n] seconds.
Value equals zero
The question for the alias will not appear (default).
Value equals -1
The question for the alias name appears and the boot process
sleeps until the user enters something.
create-data-image
In conjunction with
created. A data only image is a EXT2 image file containing only a copy
of the data tree starting at the given directory. Such an image can not be
used as operating system- or boot image. If a diskful system is booting
and its IMAGE variable includes an additional data image which will be
downloaded to a /dev/ramX device, the data contents will be included
automatically into the system. If a data image is downloaded into a par-
tition on the disk the data is available at the mountpoint refering to the
contents of the PART variable. A big advantage of this feature compared
to the normal CONF workflow is that the data image is controlled in the
same way as the operating system image which means for example any
changes to the data image will be detected automatically and the image
gets updated if necessary.
