Boot Settings¶

The following parameters can be passed onto the installer via kernel command line parameters.

Display settings¶

• displayres:
  Try using this resolution for install. If the mode is invalid it will be rejected.
  example: displayres=1024x768

• forceXvesa
  Force the use of the vesa framebuffer driver

• vnc
  - Do not start X on the console, instead use vnc for the install. If no static ip has been given, then dhcp will be used to find a network address.

network settings¶

The following options will be set at boot, but will also transfer to the install.

• cnetdev
  Set the network device to use.
  example: cnetdev=eth0

• cip= set a static ip or use dhcp for network.
  example: cip=dhcp

  if dhcp is NOT used, then the following are required:
  - cnetmask - set the netmask
  - cgateway - set the default gateway
  - cdns - set a dns server
  example: cip=ip cnetmask=255.255.255.0 cgateway=192.168.1.1 cdns=192.168.1.1

• chostname – Set the hostname for the server
  example: chostname=Samplehostname

Remote control options¶
