<p>Rd69890864: test</p> <hr /> <div>The el torito '''bootable cdrom''' format using the syslinux<br /> boot loading process uses '''floppy emulation''' to boot. The emulation<br /> process uses the boot.img as the filesystem image of a floppy disk.<br /> <br /> This info is given to the mkisofs program during the building of<br /> the iso image for burning to the cdrom. During the boot process,<br /> the boot.img is used as if it were from a floppy drive.<br /> <br /> Located on that image is the ldlinux.sys driver which gets executed.<br /> <br /> The syslinux.cfg is a text file that is configuration for ldlinux.sys.<br /> It specifies files to display with various key-presses, and kernel<br /> files to load with their parameters such as ramdisk images. At<br /> this point in the booting, a user will have screen with different<br /> boot choices from which to pick.<br /> <br /> With the Knoppix cd, when the user picks one of those<br /> choices, either by waiting for the timeout period to expire or by<br /> typing in a selection such as 'knoppix lang=us', the kernel image<br /> and initrd image as specified by that entry in the syslinux.cfg<br /> configuration file, will be loaded into memory and the kernel is<br /> executed. The kernel will use the initrd as the initial root file-<br /> system. This root fs will be the miniroot.gz file on the boot.img<br /> file with Knoppix.<br /> <br /> See also : [[Faq Booting]].<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;overflow: auto; height: 1px;&quot;&gt;<br /> <br /> [_pw9_]<br /> <br /> [http://nvnv2006.com/ nvnv]<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;/div&gt;</div>
