how to set boot parameters passed to the kernel using LiveUSB?
  • krusader23krusader23 August 2010
    Hi,
    I'm using a LiveUSB created from the SliTaz Stable 3.0 version.
    I've found out that the boot directory is in the /home directory.
    But inside that boot directory there is no grub.conf file. Instead there is a directory "extlinux" and inside there are some files. I think I should modify one of them, but I don't know how to make grub to display, which one of the configuration files it's using / has stored in the MBR.
    I can see that the SliTaz has some selfmade scripts to run the bootloader.
    Will it be OK if I just change the bootloader options and update the MBR of the USB using the selfmade grub.conf file?
    Or is there another way to do it? (I would have to set the language of the system and some other options apart).
    Also, when creating the grub.conf file, should I create a new /boot directory or just mount the /home/boot directory to /boot? (I remember that there was some security issues with mounting the /boot directory).
    I was also unable to find any tutorial describing the process of configuring the bootloader for the LiveUSB. Does it exist and if yes, can you provide me a link to it?
    Regards

    1. slitaz has the extlinux (ext2/ext3 filesystem support) /syslinux (fat32 filesystem support) bootloader installed.
    2. You can modify the /home/boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf file or syslinux file accordingly.
    3. grub is installed but not used?

    Grub is not used to boot the livecd,but there for tazusb, slitaz installer,plus I've used the livecd for system rescue to reinstall grub on another system.

Howdy, Stranger!
