| Code Sample | title MEPIS 3.3.1 Hda6
kernel (hd0,5)/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.10 root=/dev/hda6 nomce quiet splash=verbose vga=791
initrd (hd0,5)/boot/initrd.splash
title DSL Personal Hda8
kernel (hd0,7)/boot/isolinux/linux24 root=/dev/hda8 fromhd=/dev/hda8 toram restore=hda7 mydsl=hda8/xfree vga=791 frugal dma alsa
initrd (hd0,7)/boot/isolinux/minirt24.gz |
Here is an example of mine. I'll explain a few things.....
I use this configuration for booting DSL because I use the frugal and/or poorman's install methods for multiple images on the same machine. When Knoppix boots it looks for the first KNOPPIX image it finds. So, if I had an image on partition hda7 it would boot that image instead of the one I have defined above on hda8. So, I add 'fromhd=/dev/hda8' to the append line so that the image on hda8 is booted.
Say I want to have DSL 1.5 on one partition and 2.0 on another. I have to be careful because these versions have different kernels 1.5 (2.4.26) and 2.0 (2.4.31). I need make sure linux24 and minirt24.gz are pointing to the correct partition. That is why you see the (hd0,7) in the kernel and initrd lines.
Hope this helps
Chris
