282 "This program normally makes a basic self-test of the machine and accesses "
283 "nonvolatile memory to read further parameters. This memory in the PC is "

292 "The parameters stored in the nvram vary between systems, but as a minimum, "
293 "the hardware boot program should know what is the boot device, or which "
294 "devices to probe as possible boot devices."

332 #: build/C/man7/boot.7:64
334 "In most systems, this primary loader is very limited due to various "
335 "constraints. Even on non-PC systems there are some limitations to the size "
336 "and complexity of this loader, but the size limitation of the PC MBR (512 "
337 "bytes including the partition table) makes it almost impossible to squeeze a "
338 "full OS Loader into it."

354 "the bootstrap code to load the second part of the loader from the root "
359 #: build/C/man7/boot.7:86
361 "The main job of the OS Loader is to locate the kernel on the disk, load it "
362 "and run it. Most OS loaders allow interactive use, to enable specification "
363 "of alternative kernel (maybe a backup in case the last compiled one isn't "
364 "functioning) and to pass optional parameters to the kernel."

450 "word \"start\" -- causing it to start the service, or the word \\&\"stop\" "
451 "-- causing it to stop the service. The script may optionally accept other "
452 "\"convenience\" parameters (e.g: \"restart\", to stop and then start, "

486 "To define the starting or stopping order within the same run-level, the "
487 "names of the links contain order-numbers. Also, to make the names clearer, "
488 "they usually end with the name of the service they refer to. Example: the "

573 "When the kernel is booted directly by the BIOS (say from a floppy to which "
574 "you copied a kernel using 'cp zImage /dev/fd0'), you have no opportunity to "
575 "specify any parameters. So, in order to take advantage of this possibility "
576 "you have to use software that is able to pass parameters, like LILO or "
577 "loadlin. For a few parameters one can also modify the kernel image itself, "
578 "using rdev, see B<rdev>(8) for further details."

606 "to twiddle a few mystical registers to put the card into a SB compatible "

637 "additional 10 parameters in unusually complicated situations, assuming the "
638 "setup function supports it.)"
642 #: build/C/man7/bootparam.7:93
644 "Most of the sorting goes on in linux/init/main.c. First, the kernel checks "
645 "to see if the argument is any of the special arguments 'root=', "
646 "\\&'nfsroot=', 'nfsaddrs=', 'ro', 'rw', 'debug' or 'init'. The meaning of "
647 "these special arguments is described below."
651 #: build/C/man7/bootparam.7:104
653 "Then it walks a list of setup functions (contained in the bootsetups array) "
654 "to see if the specified argument string (such as 'foo') has been associated "
655 "with a setup function ('foo_setup()') for a particular device or part of the "
656 "kernel. If you passed the kernel the line foo=3,4,5,6 then the kernel would "
657 "search the bootsetups array to see if 'foo' was registered. If it was, then "
658 "it would call the setup function associated with 'foo' (foo_setup()) and "
