The boot parameters you can use are:
General boot options
-xx
with your keymap (for example: setkmap=de
for german keyboards)
-docache
option requires 400MB of memory if you want to cache everything (including the bootdisks
and isolinux
directories). You can add the lowmem
option if you have less that 400MB of memory of to prevent these directories to be copied into memory.
-/dev/sda6
, you can type rescuecd root=/dev/sda6
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 rescue64 root=/dev/sda6
. From SystemRescueCd-1.0.4, this option works with LVM disks, so you can write something like rescuecd root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00
. SystemRescueCd-1.0.4 and newer versions also supports root=auto
, 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 root=auto
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 more details about that option.
-initscript=samba:start
. This does the same thing as /etc/init.d/samba start
. 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.
-backstore=off
on the boot command line. If you want to save your backing-store file on an harddisk, you will have to boot with backstore=alldev
so that it scans all devices not just removable devices. The default place for backing-stores file is any file named sysrcd.bs
located at the root of a disk which is often an USB key. You can change the path by using an option such as backstore=/sysrcd/mybackstore.bs
and then sysresccd will try to find a file named mybackstore.bs
located in /sysrcd
in any block-device (partition, USB-stick, ...). You can find more information about on the page about backing-stores.

. Support is also provided for root=auto
, which scans all the block devices tfor a linux system. The first linux system found will be started. So with root=auto
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 filesystem label
or filesystem uuid
. If the label of the partition where linux is installed is mylinux
, then boot it using rescuecd root=LABEL=mylinux
. Similarly root=UUID=b3d3bec5-997a-413e-8449-0d0ec41ccba7
. See more details.

+systemrescuecd-x86-x.y.z.iso
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 sysrcd.dat
file is in an ISO and not directly on the partition. For that reason, this isoloop=xxx
boot option is required so you must use it in your grub.cfg
. 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 /boot
and if you copy this ISO image to /boot/sysrcd/systemrescuecd-x86-x.y.z.iso
then the option has to be isoloop=/sysrcd/systemrescuecd-x86-x.y.z.iso
. This is because the boot partition is what Grub2 will consider as its root partition during the boot process. Please read the section about isoloop for more details.

Network auto-configuration and remote access

-/cidr
extension is optional. For instance, if you use option ethx=192.168.0.1
on a machine with two ethernet adapters, both eth0
and eth1
will be configured with 192.168.0.1
. You can also write something like ethx=10.0.0.1/24
(using the cidr notation) if you don't use the default netmask.
-ethx=ipaddr/cidr
but it configures only one interface at a time. Of course, you can use the eth0=ipaddr/cidr option it for all the ethernet interfaces, not just eth0. For instance if you want to configure the network on a server that has two interfaces, you can write something like this: eth0=192.168.10.1/24 eth1=192.168.20.1
. This option requires SystemRescueCd-1.0.2 or newer.

x
with the number of displays you want, and 123456
with your password The password must be between 5 and 8 characters, else the boot option will be ignored. In other words the vncserver=2:MyPaSsWd
option will give you access to two displays (display=1 on tcp/5901 and display=2 on tcp/5902). Display 0 is reserved for X.Org since SystemRescueCd-1.1.0.

. Be careful, you have to respect the separator (comma between the interfaces and exclamation marks between the name and the mac address).
Options provided by the autorun
Network boot using PXE
SystemRescueCd provides several options for booting from the network using PXE.
+These options can be combined with other network boot options such as ethx
(cf previous section). See PXE network booting to get a global overview of SystemRescueCd and PXE and Manage remote servers using PXE.
+
The second stage downloads the kernel + initramfs using DHCP/TFTP. +
The third stage of the PXE boot process acquires the root files system. +
Several protocols are available. +
+sysrcd.dat
. Only NFSv3 can be used, NFSv4 is not supported. NFS it allows computers with smaller memory to boot SystemRescueCd from the network. After the boot process, the connection is required or you will loose the access to the root file system.
+sysrcd.dat
on ip:port. NBD is easier to configure than NFS (only one TCP port involved) and it allows computers with smaller memort to boot SystemRescueCd from the network. After the boot process, the connection is required the access to the root system.
