Slackware 14 RC5 install image has a typo in boot up message
The install image has a small typo when first bootup. This is from the usbboot.img, I did not try the other.
It says: Quote:

I thought it always said rdinit?
|
That is not a typo. From /usr/src/linux/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt
Code:
rdinit= [KNL] |
It's rdinit. I always used that when fixing broken Slackware installations.

Yes, kind of interesting... for example, if you are using an initrd.gz in lilo.conf:
boot: vmlinuz rdinit=/bin/sh This runs /bin/sh inside the initrd instead of the usual /init script. This gets you a sh shell and nothing that /init normally does happens at all. Then, you can fix something maybe, and manually run /init (exec it so it is pid 1): exec /init Then, the system starts normally. But, "rdinit=" tells the kernel to ignore the initrd and skip along with regular "legacy" boot of the root= device. |
That is something interesting to know. As in my case, I don't need the extra support from initrd, so I used initrd= to skip the loading of it.
