I have a system that has no video card, CDROM, or floppy drive. There is only some USB ports, an HDD, some network cards and a serial console redirection port on the front, and a COM port on the back. My goal is to boot knoppix to a prompt of some sort where I may mount an NFS share all while using the serial console.
Booting from USB, i'm able to change the syslinux.cfg as needed. This is my current append line in syslinux.cfg:
APPEND ramdisk_size=100000 init=/etcinit lang=us apm=power-off console=tty0 console=ttyS1,9600 initrd=minirt.gz nomce loglevel=0 quiet BOOT_IMAGE=knoppix blindI really have no idea where to begin with this system. I've tried a couple of things on the append line that didn't work. Everytime I always get the same output:
SYSLINUX 3.51 2007-06-10 EBIOS Copyright (C) 1994-2007 H. Peter Anvin
Press keys F2 or F3 for help and boot options.
KNOPPIX V5.1.1-CD http://www.knoppix.de/ RELEASE: 2007-01-04
boot: userdef
Loading linux...................................
Loading minirt.gz.....................
Ready.
ATI found an article here (http://www.knoppix.net/wiki/Headless_Knoppix) about a Headless Knoppix but it doesn't seem to help me as I don't have a floppy drive. Any ideas on where go from here?
