| # palo.conf -- default arguments for palo |
| # |
| # See /usr/share/doc/palo/README.html and run 'palo --help' for |
| # more information |
| |
| # The following arguments are set up for booting from /dev/sda3, specifically |
| # mounting partition 3 as root, and using /boot/vmlinux as both the |
| # recovery kernel, and the default dynamically-booted kernel. |
| # --recoverykernel=/boot/vmlinux |
| # --init-partitioned=/dev/sda |
| # --commandline=3/boot/vmlinux HOME=/ TERM=linux root=/dev/sda3 |
| |
| # |
| #Usage: palo [options] |
| # (if an option is repeated, the last instance of it takes precedence) |
| # -?, --help Print this information |
| # -c, --commandline=default kernel command line |
| # Maximum 127 characters. |
| # -k, --recoverykernel=path to recovery kernel (perhaps /boot/vmlinux) |
| # -b, --bootloader=path to boot loader |
| Defaults to /usr/share/palo/iplboot -- you usually don't |
| need to use -b or --bootloader |
| # -r, --ramdisk=path to initial ramdisk image |
| # -I, --init-partitioned=partitioned device or file |
| # Initialize a pre-partitioned device, usually a hard disk. |
| # The partition table is not modified. Requires only -c and -b |
| # though -k is customary and prudent. |
| # -U, --update-partitioned=partitioned device or file |
| # Update a pre-partitioned device, usually a hard disk. |
| # The partition table is not modified. Usually used to |
| # modify the default kernel command line (-c). |
| # -s, --init-tape=file |
| # Initialize an unpartitioned file which can be copied to |
| # tape, disk, or used as a bootp image. Requires -c, -b, -k. |
| # -C, --init-cdrom=iso-image-file |
| # Convert an ISO image already containing a kernel, boot loader, |
| # and optionally a ramdisk, into a PA-RISC bootable image. |
| # Requires -c, -b, -k, and optionally -r. The files named on |
| # the palo command line must have EXACTLY the same contents as |
| # those already in the ISO image. |
| # -f, --configfile=path to config file |
| # Each line in the named configuration file is added |
| # as a separate argument to the beginning of the palo |
| # command line arguments (thus command-line options |
| # override config file options). |
| # |
| # Short or long options can be used with long options |
| # peferred for readability in the configuration file. |
| # WARNING: No quotations or other shell syntax is understood, |
| # so use |
| # --commandline=a b c |
| # not |
| # --commandline='a b c'. |
| # The short-option config file form of the above is: |
| # -c |
| # a b c |
| # |
| # Blank lines and lines beginning with # are ignored. |
| # Whitespace at the beginning and ends of lines is discarded. |
| # |
| # When -f is not specified, palo tries /etc/palo.conf. Use |
| # --configfile=/dev/null to avoid configuration files or |
| # warnings when /etc/palo.conf is missing. |
| # |
| #'palo' with no arguments whatsoever is equivalent to 'palo -f /etc/palo.conf'. |
| # |
| #When more than one of -I, -U, -s and -C are used, only the |
| #last one is effective. |
| #The output file you requested does not exist. If you are trying |
| #to create a file appropriate for booting from sequential media |
| #such as a tape or bootp, please add the -s option. |
