A.1 Editing the Built-In Kernel
Command Line in a zImage
For kernels on POWER systems the mkzimage_cmdline utility adds kernel command
line options to the kernel image. This options string is passed to the kernel, its contents
overwriting the contents of /options/boot-file. This utility is available on all
architectures, but it only works on POWER kernel images.
For more information, see the mkzimage_cmdline man page. For example, use the
command as follows:
mkzimage_cmdline -a 1 \
-s 'install=nfs://192.168.0.20/inst_server/path vnc=1 vncpassword=password \
linuxrcstderr=/dev/console' /tftpboot/kernel_image
For a network installation, the install parameter is required.
A.1.1 Specifying the Installation Source and
YaST Interface
Install=nfs://server/directory
Specify the location of the installation source to use. Possible protocols are nfs,
smb (Samba/CIFS), ftp, and http.
