-use software that is able to pass parameters, like LILO or loadlin.
-For a few parameters one can also modify the kernel image itself,
-using rdev, see
-.BR rdev (8)
-for further details.
-
-The LILO program (LInux LOader) written by Werner Almesberger is the
-most commonly used.
-It has the ability to boot various kernels, and
-stores the configuration information in a plain text file.
-(See
-.BR lilo (8)
-and
-.BR lilo.conf (5).)
-LILO can boot DOS, OS/2, Linux, FreeBSD, UnixWare, etc., and is quite flexible.
-
-The other commonly used Linux loader is 'LoadLin' which is a DOS
-program that has the capability to launch a Linux kernel from the DOS
-prompt (with boot-args) assuming that certain resources are available.
-This is good for people that want to launch Linux from DOS.
-
-It is also very useful if you have certain hardware which relies on
-the supplied DOS driver to put the hardware into a known state.
-A common example is 'SoundBlaster Compatible' sound cards that require
-the DOS driver to twiddle a few mystical registers to put the card
-into a SB compatible mode.
-Booting DOS with the supplied driver, and
-then loading Linux from the DOS prompt with loadlin avoids the reset
-of the card that happens if one rebooted instead.
