exec
loaded ramdisk (initrd) is located.
The "-c" option can be used to pass textual "command line" information to the kernel. If the command line data
contains any punctuation (spaces, etc), then it must be quoted using the double-quote character ’"’. If the quote
character is required, it should be written as ’\"’.
Examples
Execute a Linux kernel, passing a command line, which needs relocation. The result from RedBoot is normally
quiet, with the target platform being passed over to Linux immediately.
RedBoot> exec -b 0x100000 -l 0x80000 -c "noinitrd root=/dev/mtdblock3 console=ttySA0"
Execute a Linux kernel, default entry address and no relocation required, with a timeout. The emphasized lines are
output from the loaded kernel.
RedBoot> exec -c "console=ttyS0,38400 ip=dhcp nfsroot=/export/elfs-sh" -w 5
Now booting linux kernel:
Base address 0x8c001000 Entry 0x8c210000
Cmdline : console=ttyS0,38400 ip=dhcp nfsroot=/export/elfs-sh
About to start execution at 0x8x210000 - abort with ^C within 5 seconds
