HOWTO: Boot an existing install
|
|
|
|
Select "More Options" from the main menu.
|
|
Move the cursor to "[EDIT ME] Boot an existing linux install"
|
|
Press "e"
|
|
|
|
At this point you will see the following:
|
|
root (hd0,0)
|
|
kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/hda3 ro
|
|
initrd /kernel26.img
|
|
|
|
This needs to be changed to accomodate your hardware.
|
|
|
|
The first line should be changed to indicate where your boot medium resides.
|
|
"(hd0,0)" is the first partition on the first hard drive (hda1) - change these
|
|
numbers to indicate the partition containing your /boot directory.
|
|
|
|
The second line should be changed to point to your kernel. If the line above
|
|
points to a partition _only_ containing /boot, then /vmlinuz26 is fine.
|
|
Otherwise, change this to /boot/vmlinuz. root= should be changed to match the
|
|
partition for your root filesystem. Other kernel parameters can be added here.
