Each option is described below:
Boot loader – Press F4 to select the boot loader to use. The only options provided are those available on the
system and appropriate for the system type. The LILO boot loader will always be available for Intel 32-bit-based
systems, ELILO for Intel-based systems that boot from UEFI, and the Yaboot boot loader will be the only
available option for IBM System p and System i systems.
Boot device – Press F4 to list and select the name of the boot disk. For LILO and Yaboot, this will always be
the disk containing the boot filesystem. For GRUB, it can be any disk on the system (and need not contain the
). The boot disk must be a disk containing a partition table. The boot device (disk) is the device
you must later set your system firmware to boot from after the installation completes.
Kernel options – This field will display the kernel options used to boot the system when the backup was made.
Some options specific to the boot process that do not apply will be removed after restoration of the system. You
may change the options that are passed to the kernel from the boot loader by editing this field. Anything you
enter in this field will be available to the kernel and the system boot process, whether valid or not.
Console type – This field indicates if the system console will be a graphical display or a serial (ASCII/text)
terminal. This field is filled in with the console type you booted from.
Console device – This field indicates the name of the device to use as the system console. The default will be
the console device you booted from if known, “tty0” for graphical displays or “ttyS0” for serial terminals.
Terminal type – If using a serial terminal, you should specify the terminal type in this field. If you booted from a
serial terminal you were asked to select a terminal type during the boot process, and this terminal type will be
the default. You may set this to the terminal type that should use used after logging into the system console
after system startup.
Also, refer to The
in Making the System Bootable. When you’ve completed your selections, press
F3 or ESC to return to the
menu.
