Configuration file

Parameters do not need to be commented if they are left blank and must be specified without quotes. You can comment any parameter by using the word you want, spaces before have no consequence : ``loop=linux/file'' will work and ``word loop=linux/file'' will be considered as commented. For path, use / of the linux system instead of \ . All parameters are case sensitive, be careful linux/file is not the same as LinUx/FilE as example.

If you have modified any file under linux and you don't want the initrd to override them, leave concerned parameters blank and it will not switch to the default value.

loop

Default (blank) means linux/linux but if you have your loopback file in an other file on winpart (specified in append), you must use this parameter without c:, d:, e: ... The first / is not required. Example: where/is/loop/file .

loopfs

It defines the file-system used to mount the loopback file. Default is ext2. If you do not know, it is safe to leave it blank.

brldisp

No default value. The initrd will update the value of braille-driver in the /etc/brltty.conf on the loopback system.

brldev

No default value. It will update braille-device parameter in the /etc/brltty.conf. Read brltty documentation to choose a correct value.

texttable

It will update text-table parameter in the /etc/brltty.conf. Read brltty documentation to choose a correct value

lang

This will update LANG in /etc/environment enter a correct value such as fr_FR or fr_BE or en_US, etc... Available values currently are : de_DE, en_GB, en_US, es_ES, fi_FI, fr_BE, fr_FR, it_IT, nl_BE, nl_NL. Submit any suggestion.

keymap

This will update /etc/console/boottime.kmap.gz ex : fr, us, be-latin0, fr-latin0, etc... To be exhaustive have a look in keymaps.txt

sndmod

It can be used to add a module to load at boot time. It was designd to load a sound module so as to have speech synthetiser but you can use it for any valid module of your kernel anyway. It have to be improved.

swap

No default. You can specify a partition, then it will update /etc/fstab. You can specify a loopback file on a partition (winpart by default, or swappart if you define it), in this case same recommandations than loop.

swappart

If a swap loopfile is not on winpart, you can specify an other one. Same recommandations than winpart.

swappartfs

cf winpartfs

Parameters which follow are only used during the RUNONCE process :

basefile

If not specified, RUNONCE process will check if linux/base.tb2 exists on the winpart specified in append ( or basepart if specified ). If not, the process will perform a search in the whole partition to find the newest base.tb2 file. Specify a correct value will speed up the RUNONCE process. Same syntax than loop.

basepart

Can be used if the base package is not on the winpart partition. So if it the same as winpart, leave it blank. Same syntax than winpart. Note that it can be used with or without basefile.

basepartfs

If basepart cannot be mounted, try to use this parameter...
