Novell LINUX ENTERPRISE SERVER 10 - INSTALLATION AND ADMINISTRATION 11-05-2007, Installation Manual

Page: 87 / 982

If no configuration file is present or no DEFAULT entry is present in the configu-
ration file, the default is the kernel name “linux” with no options.
APPEND options...
Add one or more options to the kernel command line. These are added for both
automatic and manual boots. The options are added at the very beginning of the
kernel command line, usually permitting explicitly entered kernel options to override
them.
LABEL label KERNEL image APPEND options ...
Indicates that if
label
is entered as the kernel to boot, PXELINUX should instead
boot
image
and the specified
APPEND
options should be used instead of the ones
specified in the global section of the file (before the first
LABEL
command). The
default for
image
is the same as
label
and, if no
APPEND
is given, the default
is to use the global entry (if any). Up to 128
LABEL
entries are permitted.
Note that GRUB uses the following syntax:
title mytitle
kernel my_kernel my_kernel_options
initrd myinitrd
PXELINUX uses the following syntax:
label mylabel
kernel mykernel
append myoptions
Labels are mangled as if they were filenames and they must be unique after man-
gling. For example, the two labels “v2.1.30” and “v2.1.31” would not be distin-
guishable under PXELINUX because both mangle to the same DOS filename.
The kernel does not have to be a Linux kernel; it can be a boot sector or a COM-
BOOT file.
APPEND -
Append nothing.
APPEND
with a single hyphen as argument in a
LABEL
section
can be used to override a global
APPEND
.
