--enablesmbauth
Enables authentication of users against an SMB server (typically a Samba or Windows
server). SMB authentication support does not know about home directories, UIDs, or shells. If
you enable SMB, you must make users' accounts known to the workstation by enabling LDAP,
NIS, or Hesiod or by using the /usr/sbin/useradd command to make their accounts
known to the workstation. To use this option, you must have the pam_smb package installed.
--smbservers=
The name of the server(s) to use for SMB authentication. To specify more than one server,
separate the names with commas (,).
--smbworkgroup=
The name of the workgroup for the SMB servers.
--enablecache
Enables the nscd service. The nscd service caches information about users, groups, and
various other types of information. Caching is especially helpful if you choose to distribute
information about users and groups over your network using NIS, LDAP, or hesiod.
bootloader (required)
Specifies how the GRUB boot loader should be installed. This option is required for both
installations and upgrades. For upgrades, if GRUB is not the current boot loader, the boot loader is
changed to GRUB. To preserve other boot loaders, use bootloader --upgrade.
--append=
Specifies kernel parameters. To specify multiple parameters, separate them with spaces. For
example:
bootloader --location=mbr --append="hdd=ide-scsi ide=nodma"
--driveorder
Specify which drive is first in the BIOS boot order. For example:
bootloader --driveorder=sda,hda
--location=
Specifies where the boot record is written. Valid values are the following: mbr (the default),
partition (installs the boot loader on the first sector of the partition containing the kernel),
or none (do not install the boot loader).
--password=
Sets the GRUB boot loader password to the one specified with this option. This should be
used to restrict access to the GRUB shell, where arbitrary kernel options can be passed.
--md5pass=
Similar to --password= except the password should already be encrypted.
--upgrade
Upgrade the existing boot loader configuration, preserving the old entries. This option is only
available for upgrades.
