548  <ul><li><b>setkmap=xx</b>: if you don't want to be asked for the keymap, you can choose which keymap to load automatically. Replace <code>xx</code> with your keymap (for example: <code>setkmap=de</code> for german keyboards)  <p>Press &lt;TAB&gt; to add additional options.
549  </li><li><b>docache</b>: this option is very useful if you need to insert another disc in the CD drive after booting. The CD-ROM will be fully loaded into memory, and you will be able to remove the disc from the drive. The <code>docache</code> option requires 400MB of memory if you want to cache everything (including the <code>bootdisks</code> and <code>isolinux</code> directories). You can add the <code>lowmem</code> option if you have less that 400MB of memory of to prevent these directories to be copied into memory.  </p>
550  </li><li><b>root=xxx</b>: the <a href="http://www.sysresccd.org/news/2008/06/05/use-systemrescuecd-to-boot-a-linux-os-from-the-hard-disk/" class="external text" title="http://www.sysresccd.org/news/2008/06/05/use-systemrescuecd-to-boot-a-linux-os-from-the-hard-disk/" rel="nofollow">root=&lt;device&gt; option</a> lets you boot an existing linux system. For example, if you have a linux gentoo installed on <code>/dev/sda6</code>, you can type <code>rescuecd root=/dev/sda6</code> and Gentoo Linux will be started instead of the system that is on the CD-ROM. Keep in mind that you must use a 64bits kernel if your system is made of 64bits programs. For instance, you can boot a 64bits linux system installed on /dev/sda6 with <code>rescue64 root=/dev/sda6</code>. From SystemRescueCd-1.0.4, this option works with LVM disks, so you can write something like <code>rescuecd root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00</code>. SystemRescueCd-1.0.4 and newer versions also supports <code>root=auto</code>, that will scan all the block devices of the computer to find a linux system. The first linux system found on the disks will be started. So with <code>root=auto</code> let you start the system installed from the CD-ROM in case you have problem with your boot loader or with your kernel for instance. You can have <a href="http://www.sysresccd.org/news/2008/06/05/use-systemrescuecd-to-boot-a-linux-os-from-the-hard-disk/" class="external text" title="http://www.sysresccd.org/news/2008/06/05/use-systemrescuecd-to-boot-a-linux-os-from-the-hard-disk/" rel="nofollow">more details</a> about that option.  <ul><li><b>docache</b>: causes the CD-ROM will be fully loaded into memory. A slower start but once complete, programs start faster and the CD drive will be released allowing normal access to other CDs.   This requires 400MB of memory to cache everything (including the <code>bootdisks</code> and <code>isolinux</code> directories). Add <code>lowmem</code> if you have less that 400MB of memory of to prevent these directories to be copied.
551  </li><li><b>initscript=service:action</b>: This options allows you to automatically start/stop a service at boot time. For instance if you need the samba service to be started, you can boot with the following option: <code>initscript=samba:start</code>. This does the same thing as <code>/etc/init.d/samba start</code>. You can use this option several times with different services. All the action that are supported by an initscript can be used. This option is available with SystemRescueCd-1.0.2 and newer.  </li></ul>
552  </li><li><b>backstore=xxx</b>: SystemRescueCd-1.1.x comes with support for the <a href="http://www.sysresccd.org/news/2008/06/29/creating-a-backing-store-to-keep-your-modifications-in-sysresccd/" class="external text" title="http://www.sysresccd.org/news/2008/06/29/creating-a-backing-store-to-keep-your-modifications-in-sysresccd/" rel="nofollow">backing-stores</a>. Basically, a backing-store is a loopback filesystem which saves all the changes you can make in SystemRescueCd when you use it. In other words it allows you to save all the files which changes in SystemRescueCd while you use it, so that you keep these changes the next time you boot it. By default, sysresccd automatically scan all your removable devices (eg: usb sticks) at boot time and uses the first backing-store it finds if there is one. A backing-store is not mandatory and it the scan fails it will just store the files which change in memory. To disable the disks scan at boot time you can specify <code>backstore=off</code> on the boot command line. If you want to save your backing-store file on an harddisk, you will have to boot with <code>backstore=alldev</code> so that it scans all devices not just removable devices. The default place for backing-stores file is any file named <code>sysrcd.bs</code> located at the root of a disk which is often an USB key. You can change the path by using an option such as <code>backstore=/sysrcd/mybackstore.bs</code> and then sysresccd will try to find a file named <code>mybackstore.bs</code> located in <code>/sysrcd</code> in any block-device (partition, USB-stick, ...). You can find more information about on the page about <a href="http://www.sysresccd.org/news/2008/06/29/creating-a-backing-store-to-keep-your-modifications-in-sysresccd/" class="external text" title="http://www.sysresccd.org/news/2008/06/29/creating-a-backing-store-to-keep-your-modifications-in-sysresccd/" rel="nofollow">backing-stores</a>.  <p>During boot you will be prompted for the keyboard configuration, avoid this by using

So with <code>root=auto</code> let you start the system installed from the CD-ROM in case you have problem with your boot loader or kernel. It's also possible to specify a partition using its <code>filesystem label</code> or <code>filesystem uuid</code>. If the label of the partition where linux is installed is <code>mylinux</code>, then boot it using <code>rescuecd root=LABEL=mylinux</code>. Similarly <code>root=UUID=b3d3bec5-997a-413e-8449-0d0ec41ccba7</code>.

558    </li><li><b>isoloop=xxx</b>: Grub2 (currently in development: grub-1.98) provides a new feature to boot from an ISO image which is stored from the hard disk. If you put a copy of <code>systemrescuecd-x86-x.y.z.iso</code> on a partition that Grub2 can read then you can boot SystemRescueCd directly from the ISO image stored on your hard drive. This is very convenient if you frequently update SystemRescueCd and you want to boot it directly from Grub2. Grub2 knows what an ISO image is and it will load the kernel image (rescuecd/rescue64) and the initramfs (initram.igz) from the ISO into memory. It will then do its normal job and execute the kernel. The SystemRescueCd init script must then be aware that its <code>sysrcd.dat</code> file is in an ISO and not directly on the partition. For that reason, this <code>isoloop=xxx</code> boot option is required so you must use it in your <code>grub.cfg</code>. This option is only supported in SystemRescueCd-1.4.0 and more recent. This option specifies the path of the ISO image in the partition that grub considers as its root partition. It's important to understand that the path of the ISO image may be different from the path on your linux system. If you have a separate boot partition mounted on <code>/boot</code> and if you copy this ISO image to <code>/boot/sysrcd/systemrescuecd-x86-x.y.z.iso</code> then the option has to be <code>isoloop=/sysrcd/systemrescuecd-x86-x.y.z.iso</code>. This is because the boot partition is what Grub2 will consider as its root partition during the boot process. Please read <a target="_blank" href="http://www.sysresccd.org/Sysresccd-manual-en_Easy_install_SystemRescueCd_on_harddisk#Boot_the_ISO_image_from_the_disk_using_Grub2" title="Sysresccd-manual-en Easy install SystemRescueCd on harddisk">the section about isoloop</a> for more details.

661      <li>ip, this option allows you to specify the network parameters for network card. In Clonezilla live a patched live-initramfs is used, which is different from the original live-initramfs so that you can assign DNS server, too. Its format is: ip=ethernet port,IP address, netmask, gateway, DNS. E.g. If you want to assing eth0 with IP address 10.0.100.1, netmask 255.255.255.0, gateway 10.0.100.254, DNS server 8.8.8.8, you can assign the following in the boot parameter:<br>
662    ip=eth0,10.0.100.1,255.255.255.0,10.0.100.254,8.8.8.8<br>
663    If more than one network card, you can use ":" to separate them, e.g.:<br>
664    ip=eth0,10.0.100.1,255.255.255.0,10.0.100.254,8.8.8.8:eth1,192.168.120.1,255.255.255.0,192.168.120.254,,<br>
665    <li>Besides, "live-netdev" (yes, not ocs_live_netdev) can be used when using PXE booting, you can force to assign the network device to get filesystem.squashfs. This is useful when there are two or more NICs are linked. E.g. live-netdev="eth1" allows you to force the live-initramfs to use eth1 to fetch the root file system filesystem.squashfs.    <li>Besides, "live-netdev" (yes, not ocs_live_netdev) can be used when using PXE booting, you can force to assign the network device to get filesystem.squashfs.
