Modifying Boot Parameters

Introduction link

You may want to modify certain boot parameters (Grub equivalent). Here is some information about that.

boot.conf link

Edit the file /etc/boot.conf:

  stty com0 19200
set tty com0
set timeout 1
  

Personally, I just added the “set timeout” line to 1, the other parameters were already there. For those who don’t understand these lines, I’ll explain a bit:

• stty com0 19200: Sets the baud rate of the com0 port to 19200
• set tty com0: Defines the tty on com0 to initialize it
• set timeout 1: Sets the waiting time for the boot system (in seconds, here 1 sec)
