Boot Parameters

[Mike McCarty]

I have a question which I have as yet been unable to answer.

What are the boot parameters which can be passed to the kernel,
what do they mean, and why are they present?

For example, rhgb. I suppose that this is an acronym which
stands for Red Had Graphics Boot. But I don't *know* that.

Can anyone document all such parameters, what they stand for,
and why one would chose to use them?

Thanks so much.

Mike

I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
