passing boot ( interactively) options to grub combined with with using the menu.lst
Hi folks, i am trying to move a Suse Installation CD to a USB-Stick so i can use the USB Stick for installation. The suse installation has the wonderfull option that you can add on a command line additional parameters to the kernel . Like: -> Select Installation -> On the command line add: hostname=myws At the moment i am able to boot from the USB-Stick with grub and can select 'Installation' from the grub menu. But how do i add additional parameter to grub without the need to modify the menu.lst ? Like the isolinux.cfg when booting from cd/dvd Extract from the menu.lst .. title Installation root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/loader/linux root=dev/sda1 vga=791 initrd /boot/loader/initrd tia Hajo ============================ Hans-Joachim Ehlers UNIX Systems Engineer EUMETSAT Am Kavalleriesand, 31 64295, Darmstadt, Germany Tel : +49 6151 807-7307 mailto:hansjoachim.ehlers@eumetsat.int http://www.eumetsat.int

I know this is over a month since you asked the question, but I'm playing catchup with some lists I subscribe to. When I moved my installation to a USB stick, I just copies syslinux to it, copies isolinux.cfg to syslinux.cfg, and ran syslinux /dev/sda (or wherever the data was) Then you can add the "hostname=foo" options to the kernel line as you want. -- Simon Crute IS&T Bracknell Novell UK Ltd
