One of the more commonly used parameters, the
hdX=cdrom
parameter,
can
be
entered at the boot prompt, as it deals with support for IDE/ATAPI
CD-ROMs, which is part of the kernel.
In the tables below, most modules without any parameters listed are
either able to auto-probe to find the hardware, or require you to
manually change settings in the module source code, and recompile.

Please Note:
Most newer Sound Blaster cards come with IDE interfaces. For these
cards, you do not need to use
sbpcd
parameters,
only use
hdx
parameters.
