Konfiguration von GRUB
Inhalt: (Verbergen)
Configuration of GRUB:
the configuration file is on the (first) boot floppy in \boot\grub\menu.lst (actually in menu.gz = compressed format which may be edited with F4 in midnight commander).
Here is an example entry in menu.lst: (every paragraph is one single line in menu.lst; the parameter cfgdev refers to configuration file spblinux/|spbcfg)
title Net config=1, addons from basics, doc
echo loading kernel and ramdisk ...
kernel /boot/kernel vga=791 spbrootsize=32 root=/dev/sda1 spbconf=cfgdev=sda1,addons:subdir=basics:doc,net:config=1 reboot=warm no-hlt panic=30
initrd /boot/ramdisk
vga=791 selects the vesa 1024x768 mode
spbrootsize=32 selects the size of the ramdisk (32MB)

spbconf=... defines one big kernel parameter which configures SPB-Linux (see also file /etc/spb.conf):
- keys=ge, keys=sg or keys=us (german, swiss german or us keyboard layout; us keyboard is default)
- lng=ge, lng=us (midnight commander F2 menu in german or in english language; english is default)
- cfgdev=sda1 (the next parameters are read from file /spblinux/spbcfg in /dev/sda1; useful because the length of the linux boot commandline is limited)
- addons:subdir=basics:doc load bz2-addons from subfolders basics and doc (in folder spblinux)
- spbwait=15 wait for second floppy (with init6.bz2); only required when booting from floppy
- addons:changefloppy=yes load additional bz2-addons from a third floppy and prompt user to insert this floppy
Good to know: when the grub boot menu is displayed, you can type e and edit the boot parameters during the boot process.
