# palo.conf -- default arguments for palo # # See /usr/share/doc/palo/README.html and run 'palo --help' for # more information # The following arguments are set up for booting from /dev/sda3, specifically # mounting partition 3 as root, and using /boot/vmlinux as both the # recovery kernel, and the default dynamically-booted kernel. # --recoverykernel=/boot/vmlinux # --init-partitioned=/dev/sda # --commandline=3/boot/vmlinux HOME=/ TERM=linux root=/dev/sda3 # #Usage: palo [options] # (if an option is repeated, the last instance of it takes precedence) # -?, --help Print this information # -c, --commandline=default kernel command line # Maximum 1023 characters. # -k, --recoverykernel=path to recovery kernel (perhaps /boot/vmlinux) # -b, --bootloader=path to boot loader Defaults to /usr/share/palo/iplboot -- you usually don't need to use -b or --bootloader # -r, --ramdisk=path to initial ramdisk image # -I, --init-partitioned=partitioned device or file # Initialize a pre-partitioned device, usually a hard disk. # The partition table is not modified. Requires only -c and -b # though -k is customary and prudent. # -U, --update-partitioned=partitioned device or file # Update a pre-partitioned device, usually a hard disk. # The partition table is not modified. Usually used to # modify the default kernel command line (-c). # -s, --init-tape=file # Initialize an unpartitioned file which can be copied to # tape, disk, or used as a bootp image. Requires -c, -b, -k. # -C, --init-cdrom=iso-image-file # Convert an ISO image already containing a kernel, boot loader, # and optionally a ramdisk, into a PA-RISC bootable image. # Requires -c, -b, -k, and optionally -r. The files named on # the palo command line must have EXACTLY the same contents as # those already in the ISO image. # -f, --configfile=path to config file # Each line in the named configuration file is added # as a separate argument to the beginning of the palo # command line arguments (thus command-line options # override config file options). # # Short or long options can be used with long options # peferred for readability in the configuration file. # WARNING: No quotations or other shell syntax is understood, # so use # --commandline=a b c # not # --commandline='a b c'. # The short-option config file form of the above is: # -c # a b c # # Blank lines and lines beginning with # are ignored. # Whitespace at the beginning and ends of lines is discarded. # # When -f is not specified, palo tries /etc/palo.conf. Use # --configfile=/dev/null to avoid configuration files or # warnings when /etc/palo.conf is missing. # #'palo' with no arguments whatsoever is equivalent to 'palo -f /etc/palo.conf'. # #When more than one of -I, -U, -s and -C are used, only the #last one is effective. #The output file you requested does not exist. If you are trying #to create a file appropriate for booting from sequential media #such as a tape or bootp, please add the -s option.
